'But it was special for me to meet the legend, meet the King,' says Juan. 'He was very nice with me and he's a very special personality. It was a very proud moment for me when he joined Common Goal because he understands the game in the same way I do and the power of football, so I always admire him because he's an artist on and off the pitch. I like people like him.'

Cantona will always be remembered as one of the club's greatest players. The Frenchman netted 82 goals in 185 games for the Reds between 1992 and 1997. During his five-year spell at Old Trafford, Eric helped United win four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and three Community Shields.

Watch the full interview with Juan in MUTV's 'Match Day' programme ahead of our Emirates FA Cup tie at Arsenal on Friday night from 18:30 GMT.
