OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has been mercilessly mocked on social media after letting his assistant hold his umbrella for him during a torrential downpour.
The Manchester United boss was preparing for his side's Carabao Cup clash with Brighton when the heavens opened at the Amex.
Solskjaer has been mocked for forcing a woman to hold an umbrella over his head
But rather than hold his own brolly to keep dry, Solskjaer had a staffer - named as Karen by Sky Sports - give him a hand.
Say what you want about Steve McClaren, at least the 'wally with a brolly' held his own umbrella...
And fans were quick to jump on the bandwagon in taking the mick out of United's own 'Ole with a brolly'.
One tweeted: "Hope Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s arms get better soon, must be a serious injury when you can’t hold your own umbrella!
"Not much social distancing going on either!"
Another let rip, saying: "No wonder Solskjaer can't get this team moving..."
A third joked: "Can’t hold on to a lead? Can’t even hold his own umbrella.
"This is peak Alan Partridge."
