A passionate Manchester United fan in Trafford has had a huge mural of his favourite player painted on the front of his house to greet match goers as they make their way to Old Trafford.
Craig Shannon, 42, from Stretford, said he has wanted a mural of Eric Cantona for years as a way of paying tribute to his favourite player and football club. The mural, which features a silhouette of the former forward star in his iconic 7 shirt, is painted on the front of his house near Gorse Hill and is the work of local artist Stacey Knowles.
“There are usually around 14,000 fans who walk past us each week on their way to Old Trafford,” Craig told the M.E.N. “There’s a footbridge at the back which they use so when they turn round the corner, this will be in their face now!”
