FIFA 15 Ultimate Team: 10 Legends Who Were Criminally Overlooked
10. Eric Cantona
Suggested Rating 89 Having just spent a preposterous £59.7 million on ngel Di María, many Manchester United fans must have remembered the days when they forked out just £1.2 million for Eric Cantona back in 1992. The great Frenchman hadnt even been the clubs first choice Ferguson had originally made unsuccessful bids on David Hirst, Matt Le Tissier and Brian Deane to match the big spending of Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers (how different football used to be!). After a relatively humble entry to Englands biggest club, the Frenchmans exceptional quality quickly became apparent, ushering in Uniteds glory years during the 90s. Cantonas success in Manchester came thanks to his bag fulls of natural technical ability, towering physical presence and Zlatan-esque arrogance, often seen with his chest puffed-out defiantly challenging defenders to test him. The thought of Cantona playing behind Swedens great striker is the stuff of every FIFA-players dreams. His excellence at Manchester United in the early 90s is still fondly remembered by the Reds to this day with their Eric the King chant still sung before virtually every game its a great shame that EAs memory doesnt seem to be as lucid as that of the United fans.
