Eric Cantona has revealed that he offered Manchester United his services as their inaugural 'president of football' last year but was turned down by his former club.
The 56-year-old claimed he was prepared to return to Old Trafford in a hierarchical role and offer footballing advice at the top end of the business.
United have often been criticised for acting as a business rather than a football club, and their legendary former French forward believes change is needed in order to readdress the balance.
