Man Utd great Cantona: Sir Alex a huge influence on my life

Eric Cantona has outlined why he loves Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Scot and Cantona worked together to break United's 36 year First Division/Premier League title drought in 1993.

And Cantona says Ferguson's insatiable desire to win left a lasting mark on his life.

Speaking to The Official Manchester United Podcast, Cantona said: "What I love about Alex Ferguson is every time there was a new goal, a new challenge. Even if we were 10 points in front and we have already won the league, we would always try to find a new challenge. New Records.

"He is one of the few people I have met who has had a lot of influence on me. It's like in everything, the people we meet make us."

You can listen to the rest of the Eric Cantona interview from Monday evening, as well as previous UTD Podcast episodes, via the Manchester United website, App and all your favourite podcast platforms.
