For the five years Eric Cantona graced the Old Trafford pitch, Manchester United fans would serenade their hero with the chant “Ooh aah Cantona”. Now, some 27 years after he retired from football, he’s singing back.
The mercurial French playmaker today embarks on a 14-date tour, starting in Rotterdam and taking in London and Manchester, just days after the release of his debut live album Cantona Sings Eric – First Tour Ever with songs recorded from performances he did last year.
