Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has given the film, 'Looking for Eric' two thumbs up.

Sir Alex revealed he had been to the cinema to see United legend Eric Cantona in the Ken Loach film, Looking For Eric.

"I saw it with the staff here and thought it was marvellous. Absolutely brilliant. Like all Ken Loach films it had a social message which was very strong. And I thought Eric was terrific in it. I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago, actually, and he said he really enjoyed doing the film and working with Ken. I think it should win awards," he told Inside United.
