Fergie 'will die on United bench', says Cantona

ERIC CANTONA believes Alex Ferguson loves being a football manager so much that he "will die on the Manchester United bench".

Ferguson was expected to retire last season when he reached the age of 60, but he had a change of heart and signed a three-year extension to his Old Trafford contract.

Frenchman Cantona recently voted United's greatest player of all time was not surprised by his former manager's decision to remain in the hot-seat, and thinks he should carry on beyond his current deal.
