Manchester United returned to training in the chilly conditions after Tyrone Mings’ ice-cool finish condemned the Red Devils to another home draw on Sunday evening.
The Old Trafford defence froze like statues to allow the England defender to make it 2-2 after goals from Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof set them on course to extend their hot streak to three home wins in a row.
With the side stuck in ninth place in the league, it was no surprise to see sparks flying as the recriminations began at Carrington.
Workmen were forced to use power tools to unlock the frozen gate and allow Solskjaer entry into the training ground.
The Norwegian was pictured with a typically tired Monday morning expression as he drove his Range Rover in shortly after the work was complete.

On Wednesday evening, Tottenham travel to Old Trafford enjoying a shot in the arm under the recently-installed Portuguese coach.
In three games under Mourinho, Spurs have scored ten goals with Dele Alli on resurgent form.
Solskjaer is optimistic that he will recover at least one of his missing midfield stars, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay both sidelined for the draw with Villa.
