Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says Eric Cantona was a huge influence on his career.
Scholes is excited at being reunited with former Manchester United team-mate Cantona, who'll jet in for Scholes' Old Trafford testimonial next month.
Cantona is now director of football at the reformed US club New York Cosmos, and will manage the MLS side against United for the August 5 exhibition match.
Scholes paid tribute to Cantona and said: “There were a few teams mentioned for my testimonial, but New York Cosmos stood out.
“Eric was great for us when we were young players starting out.
“He taught us about being professional and working on the training pitch.
“Would I have contemplated playing in the US? No, it’s too far to travel from Oldham every day!”
