Eric Cantona: 'I suffer watching Manchester United'

Eric Cantona says that he has been made to "suffer" watching Manchester United under Jose Mourinho and questions why his former club have stuck by the Portuguese.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has claimed that the club risk "losing a generation of young players" if they stick with Jose Mourinho.

The Red Devils have been widely criticised for their playing style under Mourinho, whose future at the club has also been called into question.

A poor start to the season has seen United pick up just 14 points from their opening nine Premier League matches, while the manner of Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Juventus was the last straw for many.

Cantona is among those who think that it is time United parted company with Mourinho, or else it could have a knock-on effect further down the line.

"It's the way you play," he is quoted as saying by The Republik of Mancunia. "You can lose games but you take risks. You lose against Juventus and they have 70% possession of the ball at Old Trafford. Could you imagine that with [Sir Alex] Ferguson on the bench?

"I suffer and I suffer even more when I see [Manchester City] play so wonderfully. I think kids needs to have an example. They need great players, great movements, creative football to identify themselves to a player or a team.

"And I think they are now losing a generation of young players. These young players identify themselves to the way City play. Can we accept that? No."

Cantona won four Premier League titles and two FA Cups in five seasons at Old Trafford.
