Eric Cantona ● Best Skills & Goals Ever
"Eric Cantona is my king." That's how Manchester United fans adore the player number 7 in the 1993-1197 era. Like Barcelona, which honors the number 10 jersey, Man United gives a sacred status to players who wear the number 7. From the row of number 7 at Man United such as David Beckham (1997-2003), Cristiano Ronaldo (2003-2009), to Alexis Sanchez (2018 -2020), Eric Cantona is the owner of the king's throne. It all started when he came to Old Trafford in 1992. Eric did not take long to bring the club nicknamed the Red Devils to dominate the English League.
In a short time until 1997 or five years, he gave four Premier League titles, two FA Cup titles and three Community Shield titles for Man United. Exactly in 1997 or five years of his career with Man United, King Eric surprised the public by deciding to retire from the world of football.
In five seasons at Old Trafford, he also got an eight-month suspension from playing. The reason is clear, he did a "kungfu kick" to Crystal Palace fans at Selhurst Park Stadium.
Losing Cantona for eight months made Man United have to give up the Premier League trophy and FA Cup 1994-1995 season to another club. By September 1995, his sentence had been completed. Eight months without playing in the competition did not change his playing style.
He managed to bring Man United to two league titles two years in a row and the 1996 FA Cup title.
The nickname The King or King Eric is not only due to his abilities. The nickname of the king strengthened when he saw his appearance wearing the Man United jersey. Cantona always raises the collar of his shirt so that it looks like he is wearing a king's robe.
