Eric Cantona says the Reds are on for a glorious league
and European Cup double this season, claiming "this will be
United's season".
The Frenchman was a special guest for United's
midweek 1-0 win over AS Roma, which sent Sir Alex Ferguson's men
through 3-0 on aggregate.
Barcelona await the Reds in the semi finals, while this weekend
Arsenal visit Old Trafford in a crucial league encounter. But
Cantona is confident United will get past both sides and go on to
clinch the double.
"Manchester United will win both trophies, I am sure of that," said
Eric. "It will be tough, the title is close and Barcelona are a
great team, but United have everything right now; this will be
their season."
Key to United's success is the form of Cristiano Ronaldo, who
Cantona believes is head and shoulders above any other player in
the world.
"Cristiano Ronaldo has skills which no other player has, he is the
best player in the world," Cantona told the Manchester Evening
News. "It's important he plays as many games as possible.
"I am happy he is wearing my shirt. It was special for me, I hope
it is special
