1996 Merlin Premier Gold #88 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer MGC 9

1996 Merlin Premier Gold #88 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer MGC 9

This Ole Gunnar Solskjaer card is number 88 from the 1996 Merlin Premier Gold collection, covering the 1996-97 Premier League season.

Merlin Premier Gold was a premium trading card set produced annually during the late 1990s, featuring foil card designs across the Premier League.

Solskjaer had signed for Manchester United from Molde in July 1996 for £1.5 million, a surprise acquisition given that he was largely unknown outside Norway. United had been pursuing Alan Shearer at the time, who opted to join Newcastle United.

The 1996-97 campaign was Solskjaer’s debut season at Old Trafford and he scored six minutes into his first appearance, a substitute showing against Blackburn Rovers in August. He went on to finish as Manchester United’s top scorer with 19 goals in all competitions as the club won a fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
