Mourinho is depicted as a bitter old woman
A smiling Fergie greets Solskjaer with his contract in hand
Solskjaer stars as Bilbo celebrating his rise from humble beginnings - much like Ole's path from tiny Kristiansund in Norway.
He picks up his United contract signed by Ed Woodward and Sir Alex Ferguson and runs through the Shire, leaving his home - which includes the Molde FK badge - behind.
On his journey he encounters a bitter Mourinho made up as an old spinster, who mumbles: "I have nothing to say."
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino - linked so heavily with the United gig - is almost bumbled over by the gallivanting Solskjaer.
With contract in hand, Ole then brushes past Ince, who poured water over Solskjaer's achievements by saying he could have done the same.
Ole - sorry, Bilbo - keeps skipping past and hits back: "Couldn't care less."
He then encounters a smiling Fergie, Paul Pogba, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones with the contract in hand.
This is not the only brilliant mock-up Solskjaer has been involved in since his deal was confirmed.
Jesse Lingard put together a Photoshopped image of himself celebrating Ole's famous 1999 knee slide from the Champions League final of that year.
And Solskjaer said his first objective after getting the job is to nail down the futures of David De Gea and Marcus Rashford.
He said: "We need to get going before the end of the season to hold talks about players, with players, and who's going to stay here.
"The short-term priority now is to improve."
