The Frenchman said his old employers should copy the methods of arch-rivals Liverpool.
ERIC CANTONA HAS warned his former club Manchester United that the world’s best players will not move to Old Trafford because they cannot guarantee trophies.
“During the time of Alex Ferguson if you wanted a player, the best in the world, he would come to Manchester United because they were winning in England and Europe,” Cantona, who admitted he was unaware of Weghorst or his move to United, told the PA News agency. “So you have to be clever. Clever like Liverpool. They took Mane and Salah, not the best players in the world, but with a great team and a great atmosphere, together they won things.“And then Mane and Salah became the best players in the world. That’s a great example for United.”
“You need to have a bit of discipline to win things. But it is not only about that, it is about so many things,” added the 56-year-old, speaking at the National Football Museum in Manchester where an exhibition by local artist Michael Browne, commissioned by Cantona and entitled ‘From Moss Side to Marseille’, opens to the public on Saturday.
“In England it is difficult to win because there are so many clubs who can win it. So if you don’t win it you have to at least give everything in every game, or at least try to give everything in every game.
