Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits no regrets over infamous Manchester United red card against Newcastle

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed he would not advocate his Manchester United stars to copy one of the more cynical moments of his playing career when he was sent off against Newcastle United.

Solskjaer is a United legend following his playing days after helping them win the treble in 1999 but his time at Old Trafford is also remembered for the only red card he picked up at the club early on his career.

With United chasing victory against Newcastle United in April 1998 to keep alive their Premier League title hopes, the striker raced back to hack down a counter attacking Rob Lee with a cynical and dangerous sliding tackle with just a minute to play.
