Solskjaer went from unknown Molde striker in 1996 to Champions League hero in 1999. At a time when Newcastle spent £15m on Alan Shearer, United paid for £1.5m for Solskjaer and few could have predicted the impact he’d have in England despite an impressive goal return in Norway. Solskjaer, though, scored 18 Premier League goals in his first season and then continued to find the back of the net throughout his Old Trafford career, which ended in 2007.
Benteke was 21 when Villa paid Genk £7m for him in 2012 and he started as he meant to go on following a goal scoring debut.
