🚨Jaap Stam:
“Player power? Sir Alex didn't let that! The club comes first. In the history of Manchester United, Eric Cantona is the only one who was allowed to do anything he wanted. Beckham, Keane, Cristiano all got kicked for disobeying the manager.”
Today marks 20 years since the Glazer takeover. Two decades of debt, greed and decay, with no regard for the supporters or soul of Manchester United.
Eric Cantona wears our shirt to remind everyone: “Football belongs to the fans.”

#OTD 🗓 4th of March 1996:
Manchester United went to St James's Park 4 points behind Newcastle.
We secured 3 points due to the heroics of Peter Schmeichel and Eric Cantona 👊
“A defender now can’t even play with their arms… If you played now you would score 70 or 80 goals a season” 👀
@AlanShearer enjoyed that compliment from Cantona 😏
“I would have paid millions to play football” ❤️
Eric Cantona explains the reason behind his decision to retire from football aged just 30 was that he could no longer give it 💯
