Cantona eyes United return
Eric Cantona has admitted to holding out hope that he will one day become manager of Manchester United.
The Frenchman enjoys cult hero status at Old Trafford after illuminating the United team for five years between 1992 and 1997.
He won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups during that spell and is widely regarded as one of the finest players ever to grace the 'Theatre of Dreams'.
After bringing an end to his playing career in 1997, Cantona is currently in charge of the France beach soccer national team.
However, he has revealed his intention to take on a more high-profile role in the not too distant future.
"I will guide probably the strongest team in the world," he said.
"I don't know how many years will go by before that happens but on the Manchester United bench my name is already written down.
"I'm not saying (Sir Alex) Ferguson will leave. I hope he will have eternal life with the Reds, I truly hope so.
"But for me, the only alternative (to Manchester United) is guiding the England national team.
Motivator"I like (England coach) Fabio Capello as a man and as a motivator. He transmits positive values.
"He is tough, precise and puts a lot of emphasis on attention to details. It's what was needed.
"But I can assure you that sooner or later you will see me guiding England because I have made history at Manchester United and I am number one."
Cantona has also hailed the current United side as the golden generation of Ferguson's illustrious tenure.
"The players are in top form," said Cantona in an interview to Gazzetta dello Sport.
"This team is the strongest that Ferguson has had and the credit is all his.
"He is able to bring out the best of each player and makes them develop one by one to get 100 per cent out of them. He should be an example for each coach."
