The Norwegian cult hero, scorer of the never-to-be-forgotten Champions League winner against Bayern Munich in 1999, twice let fly with shots he thought were going in. But on both occasions, Espanyol's spoilsport goalkeeper denied him.

Still, Fraizer Campbell managed to find the net, sent clear by Ryan Giggs eight minutes from time, to ensure Solskjaer's playing days ended with a 1-0 win.

The popular striker will now concentrate his energies on coaching United's reserve team, happy too that Unicef-backed school building projects in Africa will benefit from his final appearance in the famous red shirt.

It certainly represented a good workout for Sir Alex Ferguson's team, or at least the fit members of his European Cup-winning squad.

It looked like the game was heading for a stalemate after had Nani wasted a glorious chance, drilling his shot into the side-netting after Paul Scholes' delicate chip had bounced back off a post.

But Campbell raced on to Giggs' superb pass to score at the end to enhance his chances of being part of the first-team squad this season.
