Football News : Is Cantona the next Manchester Utd manager?

The search for Manchester United's new manager came to an "end" on Thursday with club legend Eric Cantona named as the new man in charge - by Cantona himself.

The Frenchman jokingly claimed via an Instagram post that he was to take over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who was sacked on Sunday.

Several United fans gave the shock "announcement" their approval on social media - but it seems that Michael Carrick will nevertheless continue to take temporary charge of the side at Chelsea on Sunday.
