The Norwegian then remained in charge of the team until November 2021, with a dramatic dip in performances after two years of finishing in the top four.
The 52-year-old spent years away from the dugout before landing a managerial gig in Turkey with Besiktas in January.
However, in a recent BBC interview, he has revealed that only three of his former players have spoken to him since his Man Utd sacking.
Solskjaer started with his appointed captain Harry Maguire, who he called a “leader” and a “fighter”.
The second star he was highlighted was his star signing and current club captain, Bruno Fernandes, before he finally referenced Victor Lindelof.
He said: “For me, Harry [Maguire] has always been a leader and a fighter.
“I was never in doubt when I signed him and he walked in the door he would be captain for us.
“There is another captain there in Bruno [Fernandes]. The two of them are top human beings.

“I was so happy for them last night [Europa League semi-final first leg].
“Those two and Victor [Lindelof] are probably the only ones I have heard from in the club since I left.
“You want the best for them.”
In the interview, Solskjaer also slammed the decision by the club to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli.
