“I thought: Ive scored 17 goals for you this season, mostly coming on as sub arent you going to speak to me? Then Teddy went on.“Thats the way to trigger me; to make me feel: Im going to prove you wrong.”All was forgotten, however, with Solskjaer eventually getting on the field and scoring United’s second injury-time goal to secure them European glory – and a remarkable Treble. He added: “I forget what the gaffer said to me afterwards, but Ive got a picture of us together and I will always remember thinking at that moment: You deserve this you deserve so much to win the Champions League.“We did it for him, as a manager. You almost well up when you think about it. He was that kind of manager.”United need to overturn a 1-0 deficit on Tuesday night at the venue of that iconic 1999 final, the Camp Nou, if they are to advance to the last four of this season’s competition at the expense of Barcelona.
