Manchester United legend Eric Cantona was delighted for his former club after their derby win over Manchester City.

Cantona was speaking at the Laureus Sports Awards in Shanghai.

"The derby's a special game, so it's great to win the derby. I was proud and very glad. It's good because now they are the kings of the city again," said Cantona, "City have won the league twice, so they have been successful, also but they cannot win every year because the Premier League is so strong, it has so many clubs, so many rich clubs.

"Some of them work on the young players and can buy the best players in the world, like United. I prefer this kind of club, who are rich enough to buy the best players they want, and also works on young players."
