Solskjaer, who has followed in the footsteps of his former boss after being handed the reins at United on a permanent basis, was far from happy with Ferguson during the half-time interval of that clash, however.In an interview with FourFourTwo back in April 2016, the Norwegian revealed that the Scot triggered him to go on and make a difference that night after opting to put on Teddy Sheringham ahead of him.He said: “He spoke to Teddy at length at half-time and that pissed me off.Solskjaer celebrates at the Camp Nou after his goal secured Champions League glory for United2

“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.
