In fact, Solskjaer’s parting interview - surely the first of its kind - did have a reality TV flavour to it. An emotional Ole kicked off by repeating how he had “made good friends” like he had just been dumped from Love Island after week six.

This has amused us somewhat given its 'he's 28 until he's 29' vibes. When is a shot a shot? Does a cross ever count as a shot? Does a cross that turns out to be a goal go down as a shot?
