OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER'S finishing looked as if it came naturally - but he spent ages sharpening his shooting skills in a garage.
The Manchester United manager scored some crucial goals among his 126 as a player at Old Trafford.

And of course the most important was that Champions League winner against Bayern Munich in Barcelona in 1999.
United were 1-0 down after Mario Basler scored after just five minutes but incredibly in the 90th minute sub Teddy Sheringham levelled it up at 1-1.
Then fellow sub Solskjaer won a corner in the 93rd minute.
David Beckham took it, Sheringham flicked on and it was the Norwegian at the back post who instinctively put out a leg and finished for the winner.
And in a video released by former United coach Paul McGuinness, we can see how Solskjaer honed his clinical prowess.
It shows how he fired at goals at each end of the garage, first time, regardless of how the ball would arrive at his feet.
As the video was posted on Twitter, United fans commented how it could be of benefit to one of the current players - Romelu Lukaku.
One fan wrote how he "would love to see Lukaku do this", while another posted that the Belgian should head on down to the garage.
