Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Eric Cantona remains his greatest signing.

Speaking with Sir David Frost on Sky Sports, Ferguson said: "Eric's great asset was to score important goals at important times or make a goal at important times. That's what his great asset was. Just when you're saying to yourself, 'God, we need a goal here', up he'd pop.

"And he'd either make one or score one. He was a fantastic personality - I've been very lucky, the players I've had. Some fantastic players."
