It was the most memorable goal in Manchester United’s glorious history. It was also the split-second that eventually led to a heartbreaking exit for the man the United faithful call Legend.

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went sliding towards fans in the Nou Camp stadium on that unforgettable May night in 1999, there was no hint of the road which lay ahead.
