Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was seen supporting Manchester United for the first time since his sacking as he watched his daughter turn out for their women's Under-21s team on Wednesday night.
The Norwegian has kept a low profile since he was dismissed as men's first-team coach in November following an embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Watford that left the Red Devils in seventh place.
But Solskjaer was spotted supporting his daughter Karna as she scored for United's youth side in a 5-0 cup thrashing of Aston Villa at Altrincham's J Davidson Stadium.
The 48-year-old was pictured with Maria Edwards, who also got on the scoresheet during Wednesday night's victory, after the match as the side celebrated their progression to the next round of the WSL Academy Cup.
Solskjaer's teenage daughter, born in 2003, has been in fine form for United's Under-21s side this season, scoring 13 goals in 12 matches so far this season.
Karna, a striker like her father, joined the women's academy at United in 2019. She played for local sides in Norway while he was manager of Molde and moved to England when he took charge at Old Trafford in 2018.
While he was manager of the Red Devils, Solskjaer took time to support Karna as she progressed in United's youth structure and was spotted with his wife Silje during a match against Stockport County Ladies in September 2020.
Solskjaer's two sons - Noah and Elijah - are also involved in football. Noah currently plays for Norwegian top-flight outfit Kristiansund, while Elijah is also at United's academy.
After Solskjaer was let go in November, his assistant Michael Carrick took charge of United on a caretaker basis for a handful of games, before passing onto Ralf Rangnick who was appointed as interim boss in December.
On the day his sacking was announced, the Norwegian conducted a classy interview with United's media team before leaving Carrington for the final time, where he said he is open to being around the club if needed.
'Definitely,' he replied when asked if he would be seen at United again. 'If you want me pitchside with you, I'm there! No, I'm very happy and proud with what I've done with the good friends I've made, and I wish all the best to everyone.
'I am a fan and I wish the players all the best. There are some very, very good players there, some good people. I'm sure we'll see them puff their chest out and they'll go on a run.
'I’ll watch the team of course and hopefully, the next manager comes in and I want to support him. I want him to be successful, hopefully I’ve laid the foundations for that to happen because I know I’m good at what I’m doing.
'I’m one hundred per cent sure to create a football environment, that’s where I’m good at and at some point, I’ll probably be back (working in football).'
