ERIC CANTONA has proved he is still the king in the eyes of Manchester United fans after he uploaded a video of himself scoring a superb volley on social media.
The 53-year-old – who retired from football in 1997 after helping the Red Devils claim a fourth Premier League title – has shown he’s certainly still got it.

He may have been dressed in baggy trousers, but Cantona is still capable of banging them in with ease.
The former Leeds striker can be seen performing keep-ups presumably in his garden, before he flicks the ball in the air, and smashes his effort into the far bottom corner.
Captioning the post to his 799,000 Instagram followers, he said: “Still practicing wth (sic) my best friend.”
Fans were quick to comment on the video, as one said: “Still got the magic touch.”
Another messaged: “You still got it King Eric.”
A third told him: “Come back to United and teach our forwards.”

One supported: “Eyes on the ball throughout.. still a god.”
Since hanging up his boots at the age of 30, Cantona has turned to acting, where he featured in Noel Gallagher’s music video for the song Once in January.
Despite many of his former team-mates hailing the influence of the Frenchman, David Beckham failed to include the former striker in his all-time XI he played with at Old Trafford.
