Legendary Manchester United midfielder Eric Cantona has revealed that the club turned down his offer to become Manchester United president.
“Last year, I suggested to the club that they change their path. Ed Woodward is great at marketing, but not at football. United should have a CEO, President of Marketing and President of Football responsible for all decisions in football. Therefore, I suggested that they become president of football.
I met with Woodward several times. But they didn't accept my offer. I still think that they should have someone who will deal with football issues - me or someone else. It should be someone from the club who knows football and the club, ”Canton reports the Manchester evening news with a link to The Athletic.
