Only THREE Manchester United players have spoken to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since he was sacked at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer enjoyed a stunning spell as interim Man United manager following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho.

He won 14 of his 19 games in his temporary role, registering a win ratio of 74 per cent.

Solskjaer, a club legend following his Champions League heroics in 1999, landed the job on a permanent basis following his interim spell, but things unravelled quickly.

Performances dipped under the Norwegian, who was relieved of his duties in November 2021.

The 52-year-old spent time away from football before returning to the dugout in the shape of Beskitas.

He was appointed last January, penning an 18-month deal.

In an interview with the BBC, Solskjaer recalled his time at Man United and bemoaned the sale of one key player following his spell.

He also revealed that only THREE Man United players have spoken to him since his Man United departure.

Solskjaer began with Harry Maguire, calling him a 'leader' and a 'fighter'. He then name-dropped Bruno Fernandes, who replaced the England defender as Man United captain.

Finally, he referenced Victor Lindelof.

"For me, Harry [Maguire] has always been a leader and a fighter. I was never in doubt when I signed him and he walked in the door he would be captain for us," he told the BBC.

“There is another captain there in Bruno [Fernandes]. The two of them are top human beings. I was so happy for them last night [Europa League semifinal first leg].

“Those two and Victor [Lindelof] are probably the only ones I have heard from in the club since I left. You want the best for them."

Solskjaer being contacted by just three Man United player since his dismissal paints a damning picture considering the job he done and his club status.
