Cantona welcomes Ibrahimovic to Man Utd, but warns...

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is happy with the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, he has informed the enigmatic Swede there can only be one ruler of the Theatre of Dreams.

"I have a personal message for Zlatan," Cantona says in a new Eurosport ad. "You decided to go red, it is the best choice you ever made.

"When you walk into the Theatre of Dreams and you feel the ghosts of the legends who have been there before, when you score a goal right in front of the Stretford End; when you hear the crowd chanting your name; when your heart beats so strong that it bursts out of your chest; when you feel that you will love them as much as they love; you will know, my fiend, that finally you have made it home."

Before adding: "Just one last thing. There can only be one King in Manchester. You can be the Prince if you want to and the No 7 shirt is yours if you are interested. This is my welcome gift to you.

"The King is gone. Long live the Prince."
