Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has told
Zlatan Ibrahimovic that there will only ever be
one king of Manchester.
Cantona was affectionately referred to as "The
King" by United supporters during his
successful spell at the club.
Ibrahimovic joined the Red Devils this summer,
and while Cantona has welcomed the striker to
Old Trafford, he did have a word of warning for
him.
"I have a personal message for Zlatan,"
Cantona said in a video for Eurosport. "You
decided to go red, it is the best choice you ever
made.
"When you walk into the 'Theatre of Dreams'
and you feel the ghosts of the legends who
have been there before; when you score a goal
right in front of the Stretford End; when you
hear the crowd chanting your name; when your
heart beats so strong that it bursts out of your
chest; when you feel that you will love them as
much as they love you; you will know, my
friend, that finally you have made it home.
"Just one last thing. There can only be one king
in Manchester. You can be the prince if you
want to and the No. 7 shirt is yours if you are
interested. This is my welcome gift to you. The
king is gone. Long live the prince."
