Eric Cantona is one of the most beloved players in Manchester United’s history. His footballing genius was matched only by his madness.

A physically imposing attacking midfielder and second striker, Cantona combined elegance with raw power. He possessed flawless technique, exceptional vision, and an absolutely lethal shooting ability.

However, his fiery temper and lack of professional discipline prevented him from becoming an all-time footballing legend. Yet, despite his flaws, he remains one of the greatest players in Premier League history.
