Cantona wants Pep Guardiola at Manchester United
Cantona often comes out and talks about Manchester United’s reason of failures and after a terrible start to the new season, he believes United lacks creative play. He told Manchester United’s official website,
“Listen. I joke about Manchester City, but they are playing great football. “It’s just that I think Guardiola should be at United. He is the spiritual child of Johan Cruyff. He played under Cruyff at Barcelona and learned everything from him. He’s the only person who should be at United.”
However, Cantona won four Premier League titles at Old Trafford during the 1990s, and he believes he has what it takes to become the manager of the club at Old Trafford,
“Well, except for me. I would like to coach. If they called me, I would go; I would enjoy it. They know where I am. Then we would play creative football once again. It would be great for the fans like it was with Alex Ferguson — he allowed players to be creative, treated them as individuals. We all felt special with him. All felt loved. He was always praising. A good man. A good leader.”
Manchester United are now at 10th in the Premier League table with only two wins in four matches. They also suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Tottenham before the international break.
Since last season, Jose Mourinho is facing criticism despite guiding United to 2nd position. However, there was 19 points gap with the Premier League champions, Manchester City.
However, after the international break, Jose Mourinho’s men will face Watford on 15th September.
