With it looking as if Carlos Queiroz is going to leave, we now hear that Eric Cantona is seriously thinking of taking up United's long-standing offer of joining the United coaching team. But would he be any good?
Spending 10 years playing beach football, acting and directing films is no preparation for a life as a coach at the best club side in Europe. Football's moved on since the mid-90s.
Pontificating about football is one thing; being a top class coach is quite another. It may sound like heresy to United supporters of a certain age who hero worship Cantona, but really would the likes of Rooney, Ferdinand, Ronaldo(!)etc. be convinced by Eric or would they simply regard him as a bit of a pompous, self-important poseur (as coach, that is)?
