Ole Gunnar Solskjaer daughter Karna
Sacked Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enjoyed a proud dad moment as his daughter Karna won her first trophy with Manchester United’s women’s team on Wednesday night.
United’s under-21 team thrashed Birmingham City 4-1 to win the Women’s Super League Academy Cup at St George’s Park with 19-year-old Karna playing just over an hour before being subbed off.
She played an excellent through ball to set up Alyssa Aherne to score the second of United’s goals in the win, having also played a role in Aherne’s opening goal in the first-half.
At the full-time whistle, the former United striker and manager went pitchside to congratulate Karna and pose for a photograph.
Solskjaer has kept a low profile since his sacking by the Old Trafford club back in November but he has been following his daughter’s progress very closely.
He was at Bridgwater United with wife Silje when Karna made her first-team debut for United in a Women’s FA Cup tie back in January. She has scored 14 goals so far this season for the under-21 side.

United manager Marc Skinner was full of praise for the teenager at the time and suggested there were plenty of similarities between father and daughter.
He said: ‘Honestly, if you watch some of her finishes from this season, she’s got a wonderful, wonderful finishing ability.
