Eric Cantona has warned of "problems" ahead for Manchester United when "Gandhi-like" Sir Alex Ferguson walks away from Old Trafford and leaves the Glazer family without the club’s driving force.
Cantona, who accepted the role of Director of Soccer at the newly-reformed New York Cosmos last month, is credited with inspiring United’s rise to prominence under Ferguson in the early-1990s by helping end the club’s 26-year wait for the league title in 1992-93.
Statistics of Sir Alex Ferguson
11 Premier League Titles
2 Champions League
5 FA Cups
4 League Cups
9 FA Community Shield
1 FIFA Club World Cup
The Frenchman fears that Manchester United's fate post-Ferguson is a concern, however, due to his huge influence on the club.
And speaking to the New York Times, Cantona insisted Ferguson is crucial to United when asked whether he is staying away from the club until the Glazers are no longer the owners.
Cantona said: “All I will say is that I think Ferguson will stay as the manager, after that, there will be more problems. Today, he is like Gandhi on the game side. With Manchester, I prefer to say, to think, to realise that Ferguson is a kind of genius.
“He had so many different generations of players now. He’s 70 (later this year) and works with players 18 years old, but adapts himself to all generations.
Hope Fergie lives on FOREVER WITH THE RED DEVILS :)
