Eric Cantona wants the top job at Manchester United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named as caretaker manager of the Red Devils on Wednesday until the end of the season when the club expect to appoint a permanent boss.Former managing director of merchandising at the club, Edward Freedman, told BBC Radio 4s Today programme that Cantona is desperate for the role.2

Freedman said: Solskjaer doesnt excite me one little bit and Im sure he doesnt excite the fans.I think I have an answer I dont think they would listen to, or actually understand, and you could turn it around very quickly.Theres one player that no one has mentioned. He is a legend at United, he is worshipped by the fans, he is an intelligent guy. I know him very well and is the person who would make everything, not just on the field but off the field, work. That is Eric Cantona.

I have been with Eric on a stage show and he has got up there and told how he loves United. He wanted to do the job and, certainly as an interim, what have you got to lose?He wants the job. He is desperate.” Cantona would be a wildcard choice as Manchester United manager with his lack of coaching and management experience.Following his retirement from football in 1997 at the age of 30, he was involved with the France beach football team until he resigned as manager in 2011. He then had a brief stint at the New York Cosmos as director of soccer.
