REVEALED: The supporters club membership Ole Gunnar Solskjaer held... WHILE playing for Manchester United
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he was a member of a supporters club belonging to a rival team whilst featuring for Manchester United during his playing career.
The former Red Devils manager is inextricable with his club's success under Sir Alex Ferguson, having scored the winning goal against Bayern Munich to clinch the 1998-99 Champions League trophy - and secure a historic treble.
First joining the side in 1996 from Norwegian side Molde, Solskjaer spent the remainder of his playing career at Old Trafford, where he registered 366 appearances in red before his retirement in 2007.
Solskjaer remains one of the club's most prolific goalscorers with 126 to his name, but recently saw his position in the rankings pushed down by current first-team starter Marcus Rashford, who scored his 129th goal against Manchester City during Sunday's derby.
But speaking to his former team-mates Roy Keane and Gary Neville on Wednesday, Solskjaer revealed that he might have once been accused of having split loyalties, after never cancelling a supporters club memembership for the team he followed as a child.
'(I'm) probably the only player that's played for Manchester United that was a member of the (Liverpool) supporters club,' Solskjaer admitted on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.
'I never bothered ringing them after I signed (with Manchester United) to stop the membership!'
