Solksjaer to retire after next season
-
Norway striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed next season is likely to be his last as a professional footballer.
The 34-year-old has a contract with Manchester United until next summer, but told Norwegian newspaper VG he is unlikely to continue after that.
'No,' Solskjaer said when asked if he could see a future beyond next season.
However, he is determined to play out the rest of his career at Old Trafford.
'I'll most likely stay here. I have one year left on my contract and I'm aiming to do as well as possible to carry on,' the Norwegian continued.
'I'll have to see how I feel. I could suddenly say enough is enough, but I'll stay here next year in any case.'
Solskjaer is in his 11th season with United, but has spent the last few years battling to overcome knee problems.
However, the striker is confident he will still be able to play at Premiership level in the 2007/08 campaign.
'I'm almost certain I'll be better next season. Then I'll have this season behind me after two or three years out,' he added.
'I'll be able to play at a higher level.'

most probably expected him to come to this decision sooner or later, but i expect he'll still be contributing in one way or another to United after he retires,probably to pay back for all the faith the club had in him when he was injured, but of course we shouldn;t forget his goal contribution which lead us to the Treble!!
i hope SAF and the board puts him at the youth department help in nurturing them....we need another batch of '99 class to resurface again -
die liao la he leave
who's gonna replace him?
that kinda 'assassin' skills are rare leh -
his finishing is dam steady man!
