Cantona hits out at Manchester United, questions Ruben Amorim choice | OneFootball

Eric Cantona accused Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Manchester United, of not making the best decisions. The former French international believes that the rebuilding of the Red Devils must be done with people who understand the reality of the club and not with Ruben Amorim - who saw Rio Ferdinand admit that he believes in the project.

"I have several other passions and projects, but I thought that, for two or three years, I could perhaps put all that aside and try to give something to this club, which gave me everything, but it didn't seem interested. I did what I had to do, so I no longer feel guilty. I tried to do my best. Sir Alex Ferguson created a beautiful style of attacking football, which the new owners should have embraced. Instead, they destroyed it (...). Alex came to Paris, we went out for dinner and had a great night. What other manager would have done that nowadays? Impossible. I would have died for him," he began by saying, quoted by The Telegraph.

Cantona expressed his displeasure with the current situation of the Red Devils: "I remember a locker room with the players and Sir Alex Ferguson. All those people I didn't know helped us feel at home and like family. It is very important to respect these people as you respect your coach and your teammates. Since Ratcliffe arrived, it has been the complete opposite."

"He [Sir Jim Ratcliffe] no longer wants Sir Alex Ferguson as an ambassador. He is more than a legend, and I think we need to find this soul again. This management team is trying to destroy everything. They respect no one. They even want to change the stadium. This stadium is iconic. For me, Arsenal lost its soul when it left Highbury, and I'm sure many fans miss Highbury. It's like when you enter a house and feel a special energy. Can you imagine Liverpool playing in a stadium other than Anfield? It's impossible," he added.

"I don't think Manchester United can play in a stadium other than Old Trafford, but I think maybe we are dreamers and they think more about the economic and strategic side. I hate this kind of thing. I hate these kinds of decisions," he concluded.
