Eric Cantona (1992-1997)

In 1993, Cantona became the first United player to be officially assigned the No.7 in the Premier League.

The forward left an incredible legacy having spearheaded the success for the club with four Premier League titles and two FA Cups before announcing his shock retirement in 1997. ​

The former France international had scored 64 goals in 143 appearances for United and is heralded as one of the club’s all-time greats.

Former Manchester United captain Eric Cantona was a catalyst for Manchester United’s dominance of the Premier League in the 1990s after his shock move from defending champions Leeds United early in the competition’s inaugural 1992/93 campaign.

Cantona helped United to end their 26-year title drought that year, and they were Premier League champions four times in five seasons at Old Trafford before his retirement in May 1997.

The Frenchman inspired his team with his approach and his skill that brought plenty of magic moments, such as his sublime lob versus Sunderland in December 1996.
