Man Utd boss Ferguson sees a bit of Cantona in Ben Arfa
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson continues to be linked with a move for Marseille winger Hatem Ben Arfa.
Ben Arfa is said to be on Ferguson's radar and is available following a bust-up with coach Didier Deschamps.
Signing Ben Arfa would represent a gamble given his unhappy disciplinary record, which includes having to be pulled away from Djibril Cisse during a training ground fracas just a fortnight after his summer arrival at Marseille.
However, having enjoyed so much success with Eric Cantona, who hardly represented a meek presence in the face of authority, that reputation alone is unlikely to deter Ferguson if he decides to pursue the 21-year-old.
