Eric Cantona, recently voted Manchester United’s greatest ever player by the clubs fans, has returned to Old Trafford to make a feature film.

The film is the brainchild of the philosophic Frenchman, in which he plays himself as well as co-producing, but hopefully not writing and singing the theme tune.

The film gains top credibility by having top British director Ken Loach on board. It tells the story of a United fan who imagines that Cantona his by his side, helping him cope with life’s challenges.

Cantona hopes that the movie will capture the ’special relationship’ that he had with the United fans.

Here is the infamous  Kung Fu movie from earlier in Eric’s career.
