During his time in England, Solskjær lived in Bramhall with his wife, Silje, and their three children, Noah, Karna and Elijah. He has admitted that he is not his son Noah's favourite player – his former United teammate Wayne Rooney is, while drawing inspiration from Michael Carrick. Noah is also a footballer, who plays as a midfielder for Kristiansund BK and made his professional debut in a friendly against Ole's Manchester United side in July 2019. Karna plays for the Manchester United W.F.C. Academy team.
