Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to return to first-team action before the end of the month.

The Norway international was forced to undergo knee surgery recently after being substituted in the FA Cup fifth round replay win at Reading.

The news comes at a good time for United as Henrik Larsson is set to return to Helsingborgs next week while Louis Saha has a thigh injury.

"I knew all along that it [the injury] wasn't serious," said the 34-year-old.

"The doctor told me I have to wait two weeks before I can go back to training.

"I hope I can come back before March 31 [the home game against Blackburn]."

The operation cleaned out the knee which required intensive surgery in August 2004 and forced Solskjaer out of the game for 20 months.
