Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's son confirms he has never gone without dinner

Ladies and gentleman, you can stop worrying. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's son Noah has broken his silence and confirmed that his father has never deprived him of dinner.

In case you have been out of the loop for the past few days, let us contextualise this massive development.

The saga began partway through Manchester United's meeting with Tottenham on Sunday. United thought they had taken the lead in the first half only for Edinson Cavani's goal to be ruled out after Son through himself to the ground following minimal contact to his face from Scott McTominay.

Although the Red Devils would go on to win the game 3-1, Solskjaer was still fuming with the South Korean during his post-match presser, saying: "I have to say, if my son stays down for three minutes and he needs his ten mates to help him up, he won’t get any food. We weren’t conned, the referee was."

Incredibly, it is not the first time that Solskjaer has floated the prospect of starving his offspring after a game. In the reverse fixture against Spurs in October, he claimed his son would be living on "bread and water" for two weeks - an oddly specific time period - if he had gone down like Erik Lamela had to get Anthony Martial sent off.

All this talk of draconian punishment had us worried for Ole's two sons. Thankfully, Noah Solskjaer - a midfielder currently plying his trade for Norwegian side Kristiansund - has helped to put our minds at ease.

"I always get fed, I can assure you of that," the 20-year-old told local newspaper Tidens Krav (via the Guardian) recently, also revealing that his teammates asked if he had eaten breakfast the morning after his dad's comments.

"I have never lain down the way Son did. Mourinho probably just wanted to take the focus away from the fact they had lost."
