PARIS: The ever-surprising Eric Cantona would like to coach Manchester United at some point, although the Frenchman does not expect that day to come any time soon because of Alex Ferguson’s stamina and dedication to the job.

Former United great Cantona, 46, said in an interview with ESPN that he would be interested in the United job.

“I would say, ‘United is special, of course I would do it’. Today I’m with the New York Cosmos,” Cantona, currently director of football at the New York Cosmos, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.

“But if one day there is an opportunity, why not? Like diving from here to the sea, watching, speaking to the fish, octopus, crabs, journalists.” REUTERS
