Premiership: Cantona lauded as best ever

Eric Cantona will be officially crowned as Manchester United's best ever player at tonight's Premiership match against Charlton at Old Trafford.

Cantona was voted United's greatest player ahead of George Best, Denis Law, Sir Bobby Charlton and Roy Keane.

The Frenchman will receive his award before kick-off and United defender Wes Brown feels he is a worthy winner.

The England international confirmed: "When it was his testimonial I played alongside him and his presence was incredible.

"All the players respected him and he was a brilliant player."

Republic of Ireland captain, Roy Keane, finished 7th in the pole, one place ahead of teammate David Beckham.
