The Red Devils icon took charge as manager in 2018, initially on a caretaker contract before he was given the job full-time.

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.

Authorities were searching Saturday for a kayaker who fell into the water along the American River near Auburn, Calif., the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said.

The missing man was on a kayak with another man when their vessel capsized Friday evening in fast-running water beneath the No Hands Bridge near Auburn, the Sheriff’s Office said.

The other man reached nearby rocks and safely made it back to shore, the Sheriff’s Office said. The missing man wasn’t identified, and officials said it wasn’t known whether he might still be alive.

“It’s tough to say,” said Elise Soviar, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office. “You never want to give up hope until you know.”

Authorities started to search for the missing kayaker on Friday. A dive team also went out on the water on Saturday morning, she said.

While the river might look inviting during a sunny day, authorities say people should avoid going into the water during this time of year.

“The water is very, very swift and it’s very, very cold because it’s coming from the mountains and this is a known dangerous portion of the American River,” she said.

The Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Cal Fire’s Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit on the search. State Parks, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol also offered assistance, according to a social media post from the Placer County Sheriff’s Office on Friday.
