Cantona: My proudest moment as Man Utd player

Eric Cantona says his proudest moment as a Manchester United player came in the 1993/94 season.

After breaking their 36-year title drought the season before, Sir Alex Ferguson‘s side would go on to repeat the feat, as well as win the FA Cup.

Cantona points to the fact that Ferguson’s side featured academy products and young players such as Ryan Giggs and Paul Ince as the source of his pride.

Asked what was his most most iconic moment on The Official Manchester United Podcast, Cantona replied: “Maybe when we won the double with a new generation of players. We won the double with Ince, with Hughes, and then Ferguson because he knew that the young players were great. For the first season we won the double with them.

“Of course, it was an unbelievable generation of players. So it’s why it’s something special. It means something special for me and I think for the club also. Because I think it’s important to win things with players coming through the academy. It’s like Barcelona, you are prouder than if you win with the players you buy anywhere.”
