Frustration can get the best of us all from time to time – and that includes elite football managers like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Manchester United boss is often known for being quite a cool, calm and collected individual on the touchline and in a job as a whole. Sure, he’ll throw some shade every now and then, but that’s bound to happen when you’re in charge of a club as big as United.
On Sunday afternoon the Norwegian joined millions of football fans in watching on with great shock as West Ham were awarded an injury time penalty against the Red Devils at the London Stadium. It came after Jesse Lingard had put United into a 2-1 lead just minutes earlier, but the big story was that the visitors had three viable penalty claims all turned down in the second half.

Understandably, Solskjaer wasn’t best pleased about that and he opted to take his anger out on a water bottle.

The funny part is that by the time the full time whistle had blown just a few moments later, Ole was running onto the pitch to congratulate and celebrate the successful save made by David de Gea.
The win itself was enough cause for elation amongst Manchester United supporters on social media but alongside that, they were also over the moon to see the jubilant reaction of their manager.
Everyone wants to see that kind of emotion from their gaffer and the 48-year-old was more than happy to answer the call.
