Club legend Eric Cantona believes that Manchester United can return to the top of the sport.

Cantona is optimistic about the future at the Old Trafford club under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The INEOS owner has come in and bought a minority stake in United and taken over sporting control.

Speaking to the Big Issue, Cantona said: “I am involved in too many things I really love to be a manager.

“In everything I do I work hard to give 100% so that I am able to have the confidence and to enjoy. So I don't have the time to be manager. But maybe something else..."

He added: "For sure with Jim Ratcliffe I think we come back as the best. The way you drive the club is important.

“Ratcliffe, who is a fan of United since forever, is a great businessman of course, but is also very passionate about sport."
