[@nimascolari1508]

It wasn't just his skill that impacted the matches and the squad. He's literally the only player I've ever seen to influence a game with his personality.

[@maccybear8093]

Really well said, and analysed. Roy Keane was another who had the ability, possibly learned from Cantona, but no one did it like Cantona. Truly legendary. One and only.

[@Carson-pv4hr]

You never seen Maradona

[@StevenLewis-y3q]

There are loads of players with that aura. Hence why Messi and Ronaldo had 15 years of supremacy.

[@nimascolari1508]

@@StevenLewis-y3q no there isn't there's why you could only bane two and they're arguably the greatest. Cantona's presence was even more than both you mention.

[@-The-Darkside]

Maradona did, he was kinda like this too, zlatan another.

[@ronin4518]

His style of play is so majestic, plays like he owns the pitch.. All hail king Eric

[@DirtyJamesUK]

He does. He and Zidane were quite similar. Big, strong 6'2" French men with the flair touch of geniuses and the air of being the boss on the pitch.

[@rubenvalente]

Cantona is one of the greatest, it inspired a generation.

[@siberianTiger639]

What always amazes me when I watch his videos... He has the body of a CB, a goalkpeeper... Big, kinds looks stiff, you wouldn't assume he can do a lot with the ball... But when he gets it you see he's an artist.

[@malcolmwaddilove1822]

ABIT like Pavarotti then!

[@forestgrumpy119]

I would've been surprised by this aswell, until I realised he's French, they have a knack for producing technically gifted giants

[@DirtyJamesUK]

Just like Zidane. I used to play 5 a side with a guy similar. He was tall, like 6'1 or 6'2 but very silky with a ball. You couldn't get the ball off him. He moved slowly though.

My favourite player of all time. Kung Fu kicking that Palace spaz made Cantona the all time legend of the game. No one, and I mean no one, will top it. Long live the king 👑

[@datNERO17]

Unbelievable player. If we had stats from back then on how many times he was the 3rd last player to touch the ball before a goal he would be regarded as a much MUCH better player than he is currently. He was the focal point in one of the best teams to ever grace a football pitch. Absolutely unbelievable player.

[@SolskjearAsDoneIt]

Totally agree

[@-The-Darkside]

Scholes is the same, people say he doesn't have the stats, but his assists to the assists must be through the fucking roof lol

[@zerozero3509]

He is like a pure football at it best

It's amazing what can happen when you stay on your feet instead of falling over - you can actually create something for your team mate, create space for yourself...and even score. Wild

Yes

[@downrodeo]

My fave united player of all time. And for quite a reason I am reminded from this. He always had those extra split second reactions over most defenders. Not the fastest physically but definitely the fastest mentally. All hail the king.

What a majestic player! Could hold it up with impeccable vision to bring other players in. Incredible first touch, good in the air, could finish and score some outrageous goals. No wonder Fergie told him he could do what ever he wants!

[@tomchamberlain4329]

One of the most talented players I've ever seen. Criminaly underrated. The kids will never know. Him and Bergkamp were the best in that position in their time. The 90s version of Zlatan.

Cantona had sublime football skills, very smart, creative and unique as well. If he had been a regular in the France team and winning World Cup medals since 1998 he would’ve been talked about in the same breadth as CR7 and Messi. I am convinced he would’ve been Real Madrid Barca, Inter, AC Milan legend

[@martinbarnes7485]

Like all geniuses, largely misunderstood. We had Bergkamp and MU had Cantona. We were spoilt during that period.

[@therealocgamer9701]

People like to talk s*** about Cantona’s stats and say he was overrated or underperformed in Europe. But just look at his league accomplishments. He won Ligue 1 with Marseille in 1988-89 and 1990-91, ending a 17-year barren spell (Marseille’s last title before this was in 1971-72). He then went to Leeds and won the English First Division in 1991-92, ending an 18-year barren spell (Leeds’ most recent prior title was in 1973-74, and they haven’t won a title since). Then, he famously moved to Manchester United and won four Premier League titles between 1992-93 and 1996-97, ending a 26-year barren spell. The reason why nobody at the time cared about Cantona “only” scoring 165 goals or underperforming in Europe was: a) We didn’t have the level of media coverage, statistical analysis, social media scrutiny, and over-saturation that we do now. All that stuff was genuinely less important than Cantona playing with flair and arrogance, being a leader, and a cultural icon. - stuff that’s difficult to quantify. I didn’t know Cantona’s actual stats when I was ten and I didn’t care. b) He did the most important thing, which was win. He had this weird ability to transform the fortunes of clubs he joined and end long periods without league success. He won seven top-flight league titles with three different clubs (incidentally the same as CR7) over a nine-year period, which is an insanely impressive “stat”, especially considering he was banned for 9 months during that window of time. And in each case, he did it at a club ending a long drought without league titles - he never went to a dominant club and got a fast-track to a medal; he himself was the transformative force.

[@winonafrog]

🩶

[@craigoliver8712]

Great comment,I call him "the catalyst" for what he did at United,taking your points into account it is definitive,won 2 doubles with United scoring 3 goals in 2 FA cup finals+his efforts in 96 after his ban-just Wow,the man defines a generation

[@davidgayton]

Great analysis!

[@stevens5541]

He retired way too early and had another 5 years minimum in him which could have been even more premierships under his belt and united had a better squad when he left and if he would have been part of it he could have won some champions league trophies...and the season united didn't win the league while he was at united he wasn't playing much due to his ban....also if he was in the same french team Zidane was in he would have won world cups and European championships and I think he was better than Zidane.

[@mktf5582]

Ooh aah Cantona, King of Man Utd/OT.

[@alemontreemydearwatson9775]

He was the perfect player, not only majestic skill but precision passing, bravery , speed , strength and intelligence. His personality and inspiration influenced the tone of the match . It was as if the whole game revolved around him and his mere presence . He is soo badly missed . I could watch him for hours .The King. 🥰

[@norneaernourn8240]

[@elandraxe]

A childhood legend with a few good tricks up his "socks". He had a great vision and really played for the team (well at MU). Surprisingly capable of some bursts of acceleration despite his size, nicely highlighted in this tribute (thx!). I think he retired early because he dropped out of the French national team, with the rise of players like Zidane & Djorkaeff ...

So unique because I would describe his technique and especially his dribbling as, at times, clunky. Almost like he’s not a natural, but at the same time it’s so effective and his imagination and confidence overrides any form of naturalness or elegance. Very unique style.

[@AdamBaker-v6i]

Everyone commenting is completely missing a major factor. Cantona (and Zola, Le Tiss, bergkamp etc.) played in an era when a player could get away with flicks and tricks and if it didn't come off the manager thought, oh well next time. Nowadays - mainly due to guardiola - players are put in a straight jacket, 10yard pass left or right and nothing else permitted. Guys like grealish, foden, Fernandez, etc would all have been doing the same in cantona's day but they're not allowed now. The game isn't as fun as it was

[@gabrielholm1049]

It's not easy to say who the best is amongst all of them. But Cantona definitely ranks up there with the cream of the crop. His flair was just so majestical, the lay offs and the soft touches, and the angles wow...Beautiful. Thank you for the video. Would love to see one of Messi and CR7. The beautiful game 🤩.

[@D0GGy333]

Some forget that he was also skillfull

[@benibensa]

The similarity with Ibrahimovic is striking, football- and personality-wise. That frequent use of the exterior of the foot, just to name an example.. But he also has a Bergkamp side. Une main de fer dans un gant de velour.
