Eric Cantona is not a big fan of City's approach to the sport. City has been neglecting its
academy the same way Real Madrid has turned its back to their legendary cantera. The Man Utd legend
was in Manchester to promote the NY Cosmos which will participate in Paul Scholes's testimonial
this Friday.
On August 5th the NY Cosmos led by Eric Cantona will play Paul Scholes's testimonial at Old
Trafford.
Cantona, the coach of the Paul Kelmsley owned Cosmos hopes nostalgia will help gain a foothold
in the MLS but featuring in the testimonial of a player the stature of Scholes in one of football's
most hallowed ground might translate into something more tangible.
Interview with the football legend, film actor, political activist, and tangential philosopher
waxing on his career, international football and his new role with the New York Cosmos
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown in the
sea."
~ Eric Cantona
Hopefully this is not what will happens to the NY Cosmos if and when it gets off the ground.
