But with minimal discussion between each \u2014 \u2018Are there any City fans here?\u2019 Cantona asked at one stage, scanning the room as if with binoculars to universal delight \u2014 the man, as was always, had the room spellbound.<\/p>\n<p>He wore a pair of red trousers, with an unfeasibly large pair of very red boots to match, a crisp white cotton shirt and a long black raincoat and he sang of lost love, lost friends, injustice, vampires and red snakes in water.<\/p>\n<p>There were not really melodies and neither, in all honesty, notes, but there was much of that poetry and philosophy that Manchester always loved about him \u2014 all of it contained in the small, unfussy livre de chanson (\u2018songbook\u2019) for an evening called Cantona Sings Eric.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099929-12681863-image-a-54_1698445384652.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Man United legend Eric Cantona wowed an adoring crowd at the Stoller Hall in Manchester<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099931-12681863-image-a-55_1698445391780.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman is idolised at Old Trafford for his transformative impact on the Red Devils\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099945-12681863-image-m-59_1698445436100.jpg\" height=\"489\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099943-12681863-image-a-60_1698445442721.jpg\" height=\"489\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine any former footballer other than Cantona carrying off what then ensued\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve been heroic, I\u2019ve been criminal. You hate. You love me. I am only judged by myself,\u2019 he sang in I\u2019ll make my own Heaven \u2014 perhaps, or perhaps not, an allusion to kung-fu kicking a Crystal Palace fan in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke of football, though not too much, carefully balancing his old world with new. He said: \u2018To the friends we lost,\u2019 introducing a song of that title, which seemed an understated nod to Sir Bobby Charlton, though it was hard to be sure.<\/p>\n<p>He was drowned out at times by two fine accompanists, a pianist at a Steinway and a cellist, but he was the room\u2019s orchestrator, his occasional pronounced dance moves and lasso actions with his microphone cable revealing a man not always taking himself seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s Cantona, isn\u2019t he? I\u2019d pay to watch him knit,\u2019 said Billy, a Manchester United fan, after a performance which, perhaps inevitably, ended with the audience serenading singer with a rendition of \u2018Ooh Ahh, Cantona\u2019. \u2018I don\u2019t know about artistic merit but I love his courage, his charisma, to become a film star and now a singer,\u2019 said Valentin, who had travelled from France. \u2018That\u2019s brave.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If I don\u2019t have the opportunity to express myself, I die,\u2019 Cantona had told Face magazine about this latest metamorphosis and there really was a symbolism about him arriving, 48 hours before a Manchester derby laden with emotion to remind those of a Manchester United disposition what character, soul, individuality and charisma look like. United are, just as ever, Looking for Eric \u2014 or someone very like him.<\/p>\n<p>Even the Old Trafford legends you would most associate with qualities of fight and leadership deferred to this man. It was Cantona Bryan Robson had in mind when discussing his favourite United shirt on these pages in August. He chose the all black away strip of 1993-94. \u2018Eric was in his pomp, scoring, puffing out his chest, flicking up his collar and I was thinking, \u201cWe feel unbeatable\u201d.\u2019 Robson related.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77100183-12681863-image-a-64_1698446112213.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Murmurings of discontent about Erik ten Hag grow louder at the club after a difficult start<\/p>\n<p>Different, less complicated times, of course, when Sir Alex Ferguson could overhear his chairman, Martin Edwards, on the phone to his Leeds United counterpart Bill Fotherby in the office one day, seized a piece of paper and scribbled: \u2018Ask him about Eric Cantona on it and pushed it in front of him. The rest, of course, is history.<\/p>\n<p>But how United ache for some of Cantona\u2019s qualities on a weekend when victory would be so sweet: the finest of send-offs for Sir Bobby. They limp into the fixture, with the last-minute drama against FC Copenhagen in midweek papering over the cracks of an anaemic performance, much like last weekend\u2019s win at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n<p>The murmurings of discontent about Erik ten Hag grow louder. Those two late goals Scott McTominay scored in the extra-ordinary resurrection win at home to Brentford two weeks ago were more significant than is widely appreciated. Without them, Ten Hag might have been relieved of his duties by now. He has a diminishing line of credit.<\/p>\n<p>The talk among some senior United players of late is understood to have encompassed the thought that the team is just not \u2018the same unit\u2019 as last season and has \u2018lost the flow\u2019. The reasons are complicated and manifold but, as always when the cards aren\u2019t falling for a team, leadership is a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Fernandes might be captain in name, though he is not an individual who always inspires, despite his vocal presence on the field. Casemiro and Raphael Varane are understood to be held in higher regard among many in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>The interminable Jadon Sancho saga doesn\u2019t help. Views differ within the club on whether Ten Hag has made a mess of it, but it requires someone to cut through all this pointless noise: a player of influence within that group to drum some sense into Sancho, tackle his sense of victimhood and remind him what professionalism looks like. Comparing generations isn\u2019t always helpful, but it\u2019s hard to imagine Cantona airing his frustrations on Instagram. The man who puffed out his chest and flicked up his collar was more of a man than that.<\/p>\n<p>No player seems to symbolise that lack of \u2018flow\u2019 more than Marcus Rashford, who on the equivalent weekend last season scored his seventh goal of the season, on the way to a run of 10 in 10 games. He is averaging more touches in the box this season than last but taking fewer shots, with one league goal to his credit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77100209-12681863-image-m-66_1698446361608.jpg\" height=\"698\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cantona scored 70 goals and had 55 assists in 156 Premier League games for Man United<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099951-12681863-image-a-62_1698445478901.jpg\" height=\"419\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sir Alex Ferguson completed a major coup with the signing for Cantona from Leeds in 1992<\/p>\n<p>This is an introspective, dislocated, tentative United \u2014 a million miles from the breezy self-confidence of City, disembarking the team bus in Bern on Wednesday in their casual wear \u2018uniforms\u2019 of baggy jeans and preppy cardigans. City are reaping the benefits of a player acquisition structure put in place 15 years ago by individuals like Brian Marwood and Mike Rigg which has seen them build the best squad in Europe. It\u2019s in this department that City have outstripped United most spectacularly, bringing them to where they stand this weekend: a club in which the futures of chief executive Richard Arnold and director of football John Murtough are in grave doubt.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a far remove from the equivalent weekend of the season 30 years ago, when Cantona scored first in United\u2019s 2-1 win over QPR at Old Trafford, which meant the reigning Premiership champions had dropped a mere four points from 13 games and were top of the pile again.<\/p>\n<p>Player acquisition systems didn\u2019t exist, then. Personal contacts and phone calls did the job and managers went on instinct far more, taking the kind of risk that the \u00a31million for Cantona entailed.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase wasn\u2019t based on any long-term conviction about Cantona that Ferguson harboured. He\u2019d simply heard Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister raving about him in the team bath after a 2-0 win against Leeds, early the previous season \u2014 then heard Gerard Houllier eulogising, too. Ferguson knew there could be \u2018too much awkward baggage,\u2019 with \u2018unorthodox and possibly disruptive behaviour,\u2019 as he put it years later. He \u2018took a bet\u2019 after a conversation with Cantona in which his own \u2018pidgin French\u2019 and Glaswegian accent presented challenges.<\/p>\n<p>That unorthodoxy was something Ferguson came to love. Cantona reframed his notion of how a footballer might exist and conduct himself and the extra-ordinary note the manager sent to him in August 1997, after he had said he was leaving, was little less than a love letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When we restarted training, I kept waiting for you to turn up as normal,\u2019 Ferguson wrote. \u2018But I think that was in hope not realism and I knew in your eyes when we met, your time at Manchester United was over.\u2019 That\u2019s the effect this individual has on so many.<\/p>\n<p>One of Cantona\u2019s favourite sayings was always \u2018Je suis de passage\u2019 (\u2018I am in transit\u2019) \u2014 always passing through \u2014 and that was as true of his five Old Trafford years as any other phase in his life. He set up residence in a hotel near Worsley Brow on Manchester\u2019s eastern fringe, reflecting in an interview with a French journalist at the time that it suited him well. \u2018I do not need to give three months\u2019 notice at a hotel, or to organise moving out, with all the time it takes,\u2019 he said. \u2018A credit card is all you need to say goodbye.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But he was a mainstay, anchor and leader in Manchester. \u2018He was a man of few words but when he offered praise it had a dramatic effect,\u2019 Ferguson said of him, after he had gone.<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson has never forgotten seeing him take to the field for the first time, as a substitute for Ryan Giggs, in the Old Trafford Manchester derby of December 1992. \u2018Tall and straight-backed, with the trademark upturned collar, he conveyed a regal authority,\u2019 he reflected. \u2018Nobody had more imagination when it came to spotting the opportunity for an improbable and devastating pass. But like all truly exceptional creative players, he did something extravagant only when it was necessary.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He dominated the Manchester derby in the mid-1990s, with seven goals in eight games. The two he scored in the 3-2 win at Maine Road in November 1993 are among the best remembered. Distant memories for a 57-year-old respected arthouse actor, painter, poet, and now singer, who has done more in 26 years since leaving Old Trafford than most manage in a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>In the Stoller Hall on Thursday night, views differed on whether signing a maverick rough diamond like Cantona, off the cuff, might ever be possible again in the vast world football has become. \u2018The fees paid out are madness now. It mitigates against risk,\u2019 said Mike, ruminating on whether Cantona would be more Stone Roses than Leonard Cohen, before he took the stage. \u2018There still has to be that chance of sensing someone might fit and going for it,\u2019 said Karen, another life-long fan. \u2018You can\u2019t build a team out of a spreadsheet.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It depends who is manager, Jason, their companion, thought. \u2018The manager has to see the need to let a player like Cantona be himself and that\u2019s what Ferguson did. It could have been disastrous under a lesser manager and I ask how Ten Hag would cope with a personality like Eric\u2019s. It was easier 30 years ago than now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The individual in question certainly contributed to a yearning for that beautiful possibility. \u2018How are you, friends?\u2019 Cantona asked, after concluding the particularly mournful number Let\u2019s Hope (That All Goes Back to Normal). \u2018I know you\u2026 and you and you,\u2019 he added, looking out at the sea of faces. \u2018I know you all and I love you all.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/27\/23\/77099963-12681863-image-a-63_1698445521832.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>No-one was holding back at either side of the stage when Cantona prepared to say farewell<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<span>That was as good as the conversation got. As always, Cantona was a man of few words, though indicating that he would be moving \u2018from one theatre of dreams to another\u2019 \u2014 his way of linking songs My Lovely Dream and Where Love Is Hanging Out, whose meanings were extremely unclear \u2014 went down very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The thick Gallic accent and the puzzling lyrics of songs never before released \u2014 \u2018Ah, to reach the top of the hill and see my body going down the river\u2019 \u2014 were a challenge. But an audience who had snapped up the ticket allocation inside 15 minutes were transfixed right to the very end \u2014 when a Cantona hymn to himself entitled I Love You So Much spoke straight to them. \u2018You called me Eric, the king, even God, the press called me the greatest philosopher and I think they were right.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>No-one was holding back at either side of the stage when Cantona prepared to say farewell. His followers launched into a rendition of Eric the Red \u2014 \u2018We\u2019ll drink, a drink, a drink, to Eric the king, the king, the king, he\u2019s the leader of our football team\u2019 \u2014 in which melody and notes actually did feature. Cantona conducted them briefly before taking his leave. He will take his music to London\u2019s Bloomsbury Theatre this weekend, but this was always going to be a safe sanctuary to start.<\/p>\n<p>Some people lingered in the Stoller Hall foyer, hoping for some conversation with Cantona and perhaps reassurance about United\u2019s contemporary struggles.<\/p>\n<p>But he didn\u2019t materialise. Eric was gone, off to reflect on his own new chapter, leaving others with the football battles he once waged. It\u2019s their struggle now.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12681863\/Eric-Cantona-wows-fans-Manchester-mysterious-compelling-bonkers-performance-United-turn-now.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Cantona is back wowing fans in Manchester with his mysterious, compelling and bonkers performance&#8230;
