Solkjaer was let go by Man United after a miserable start to the season, with his last game being a dreadful 4-1 by strugglers Watford.

Roy Keane visits Solskjaer

And according to Nettavisen Sport via the Sun, the 49-year-old recently received a visit from his former captain Roy Keane. Reports indicate the iconic skipper watched a training session.

The now-popular pundit was willing to go against his every instinct to pose for photos and sign autographs for fans.

Solskjaer and Keane played together at Old Trafford for nearly a decade before the Irishman left after infamously falling out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2005.

The two won five Premier League titles and were part of the team that won the treble in 1999.

Solkjaer scored 126 goals in 126 appearances for the Red Devils, but his stint as manager brought little success.
