ERIC CANTONA has taken a swipe at Jose Mourinho and says Manchester United must play with freedom.
And he has backed that up by outlining the key to United’s success under Alex Ferguson.
Cantona, writing on Players’ Tribune, said: “All the time, I get asked the same questions about my career.
“‘What was it like playing for those United teams? Why did you do so well?’
“People want some kind of complex answer. They want some kind of secret, I think. But the answer is very simple.
“Sir Alex Ferguson was the master of one thing: Whenever we took the pitch for a match, after hours and hours of work, we were allowed to be free.
“We felt total freedom to move where we wanted, to play how we wanted. I could tolerate football no other way. What is football if it is not about freedom?”
Cantona, who won four Premier League titles with United, has joined Juan Mata’s charity where players donate 1% of their wages.
The Manchester United legend has been appointed as a mentor for “Common Goal”, which has recruited the likes of Mats Hummels, Giorgio Chiellini and Kasper Schmeichel.
