MANCHESTER UNITED LEGEND ERIC CANTONA ACCUSES SIR JIM RATCLIFFE OF ‘DESTROYING’ CLUB DIRECTION
Man Utd legend Eric Cantona reveals he offered to return to the club but was snubbed by Jim Ratcliffe. The icon launched a scathing attack, accusing the new owners of destroying the club's soul and showing a lack of respect.

Eric Cantona, a legend of Manchester United, has once again attacked the club's owners harshly.
Due in great part to the club's management, the beloved Frenchman has steadily lost interest in the squad with whom he won four Premier League titles.
The unspoken provision that might expel Jim Ratcliffe from Manchester United and send the Red Devils "back to square one"
Cantona, a longtime Glazers critic, recently became enraged with Jim Ratcliffe and is not letting up.
After acquiring a 27% share in the team in February 2024, Ratcliffe was placed in charge of football affairs. Cantona and many others criticised his cost-cutting tactics.
The well-known No. 7 has now disclosed that he even offered the millionaire from Monaco his services, but he did not receive the response he was hoping for.
"I have many other loves and ambitions, but I believed that for two or three years I could maybe put those to the side and attempt to contribute something to this club, which has given everything to me," he stated in reference to United in an interview with Eric the King Cantona.
However, [Ratcliffe] showed no interest. I no longer feel bad since I did what I had to do. I did my best.
"The new owners ought to have adopted the brilliant attacking football style that Sir Alex Ferguson established. Rather, they destroyed it.
Cantona's tumultuous association with Man United
Many consider Cantona, who was infamously acquired by Ferguson from Leeds in 1992, to be the final component needed to complete one of football's greatest dynasties.
In 2023, he would assist the Red Devils in winning their first league championship since the 1960s, and he contributed to three more of Ferguson's 13 victories during his reign of supremacy.
After resigning in 2013, the Scot continued to play for the team until February 2025, when Ratcliffe and Co. fired him.
"Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club till the day he dies," Cantona responded on Instagram at the time.
"What disrespectful behaviour. The whole thing is scandalous. My employer will always be Sir Alex Ferguson!
"And in a big bag of s***, I throw them all!"
He would go on to say that because of the club's icy decision-making, he no longer felt "connected."
"I support United because I genuinely adore United, but I do not think I would choose United if I were a fan and had to pick a team," he said.
"I do not feel comfortable making decisions like this. They are working on another project and another strategy. Does this project feel like a part of me? Not in my opinion.
Respecting people like you [the fans], your manager, and your teammates is crucial, in my opinion.
The exact opposite, in my opinion, has occurred since Ratcliffe's arrival. This group of directors tries to ruin everything and shows no regard for anyone. Even changing the stadium is something they want to do.
"Unfortunately, the vibe in the stadium is different," he continued.
"I thought it was quiet when I went to Old Trafford for the Manchester City game last season.
"Instead of being surrounded by people who travel from all over the world merely to visit the product store, United supporters would rather attend away games and be among other true fans."
BOOST FOR MANCHESTER UNITED AS JOAO GOMES, 24, ENTERS TRANSFER RADAR
Wolves may be forced to sell Joao Gomes, giving Man Utd a transfer boost. The Brazilian midfielder is a key target to add quality and control to United's engine room, but his sale would devastate Wolves.

According to Football Insider, Wolves may have to sell Joao Gomes in the upcoming months, which would greatly benefit Manchester United. The 24-year-old Brazilian would be a good addition to the park, which needs more quality and control.
Gomes is unquestionably a talented player who will aim to compete at a high level. Gomes will be tempted if a major team approaches him, as Wolves are currently struggling to stay in the Premier League. How things turn out is still up in the air.
It will be intriguing to see whether Manchester United decides to raid the Premier League team for Joao Gomes now by pursuing their interest in Matheus Cunha, who they have acquired from Wolves this year.
It would be disastrous for Wolves to lose the 24-year-old South American midfield player in the upcoming months. They are struggling to stay in the top flight, and losing one of their finest players could make it harder for them to do so.
Joao Gomes, meanwhile, will wish to participate and contend for trophies in Europe. It would be perfect for him to join one of the world's largest clubs. This could be the ideal chance for the 24-year-old to take on a new challenge as he approaches the golden years of his career.
It can be difficult to decline the chance to join Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world. If Manchester United makes a good bid for him, it will be interesting to watch. They have not yet made a specific proposal to follow up on their interest.
The 24-year-old may have an immediate effect at Manchester United and is already comfortable in the Premier League. If the transfer is approved, Joao Gomes might prove to be a valuable member of the team. In order to have enough time to find a replacement, Wolves should ideally try to keep him on the team until the conclusion of the season and then sell him in the summer.
JADON SANCHO FLOUNDERS, RASHFORD UNCOMFORTABLE – OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER EXPLAINS MAN UNITED STRUGGLES
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals Jadon Sancho's difficult start at Man Utd was due to a severe ear infection that hospitalised him. The former boss also admits he doesn't know why Marcus Rashford "did not enjoy himself" at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not know why Marcus Rashford "did not enjoy himself" at Old Trafford, but he does attribute Jadon Sancho's difficulties under him at Manchester United to a bad ear.
During the majority of his tenure as United's manager, Solskjaer pushed the team to sign Sancho for £73 million from Borussia Dortmund in the summer before the Norwegian was fired. Solskjaer managed 149 games as manager from March 2019 to November 2021 before Erik ten Hag took over.
After failing to impress at United, Sancho went back to Dortmund on loan before making brief moves to Chelsea and now Aston Villa.
Additionally, Solskjaer, who was fired by Besiktas after just 29 games, has stated that he was unable to get the best out of Sancho because he was hospitalised with an ear infection shortly before coming to United.
"We wanted to take the next step — not move away from what we had, but add something different in the final third," Solskjaer stated in an interview with The Overlap.
Jadon provided us with the skill, link-up play, and small passes around the box that we were looking for in a player.
However, he was unlucky. Like everyone else, he had a vacation before joining and ended up with an ear infection.
Before he could even begin training with us, he spent the first ten days or so in the hospital and struggled greatly.
It has not actually surfaced before. Therefore, I never really had the opportunity to play with him properly because I was already leaving by the time he was getting back into form.
Rashford flourished under Unai Emery at Villa Park in the second half of the previous season, while Sancho finds it difficult to make an impression at Aston Villa. Now, the United loanee is dominating in Barcelona, scoring six goals and dishing out nine assists in just 16 games for the Catalans, who will undoubtedly exercise their option to extend his loan permanently for £30 million at the end of the current campaign.
Even if Solskjaer acknowledges that Rashford "did not enjoy himself" at United, he is unable to pinpoint a single cause.
During his appearance on Stick to Football, he stated, "Since I left, I have not spoken to Marcus. I email him occasionally, but circumstances."
"I am not sure what is going on in his life, but it is clear that he is having fun in Barcelona right now.
He did not seem to be having fun here. It is not only Man United, in my opinion; it is a problem everywhere.
"Every single pressure is unique, and when the players arrive at the office in the morning grumpy, we have no idea what is going on. It is the manager's responsibility to ask, 'What is up? I see that something is amiss.
We only want him to succeed; we have no idea what has transpired. He has that enthusiasm and is a fantastic player when he is pleased and in form.
"When I think about Erling Haaland, to put it simply, his constant energy and passion on the field is the least I can say.
However, what is it? Too many games? We are not sure, but he has struck the ideal equilibrium.
