The iconic Frenchman believes the Reds will retain the Premier League and win the Champions League because they have "the best team, the best manager and the best player in the world".
He made the declaration following a rare visit to Old Trafford on Wednesday night for the 1-0 win over Roma, which saw United book a semi-final clash against Barcelona.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side were not at their best against the Italians, but Cantona has already seen enough on TV from his home in France to be convinced this will be another glorious campaign for his former employers.
"Manchester United will win both trophies, I am sure of that," Cantona told M.E.N. Sport. "It will be tough, the title is close and Barcelona are a great team, but United have everything right now; this will be their season."
The 41-year-old has been impressed by United's ability to combine a strong defence with a deadly attack.

But what has really caught Cantona's eye has been the form of the man who currently wears the Reds' No7 shirt.www.imanutd.com% s* r+ I6 [0 y: P o

"Cristiano Ronaldo has skills which no other player has, he is the best player in the world," said Cantona. "It's important he plays as many games as possible."
There's a good pub discussion to be had about whether Ronaldo is more important to United now than Cantona was between 1992 and 1997.

But Cantona himself won't get involved in it.
"That is not important," he said. "It only matters that Ronaldo plays for United now. But I am happy he is wearing my shirt. It was special for me, I hope it is special for him too."www.imanutd.com/ S X4 m4 C* q, S
Cantona returned to France yesterday but plans to return to Old Trafford for the visit of Barcelona on April 29.
