Eric Cantona, a French actor, director, producer, and former professional footballer, has declared himself manager of Manchester United.

He made his announcement on Instagram.

United are on the hunt for a new manager since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked, with Michael Carrick currently in charge of the first team.

The Red Devils have been linked with a host of experienced and world-class managers such as Zinedine Zidane, Ernesto Valverde, and Mauricio Pochettino.

But eccentric former striker Cantona posted a video on Instagram on Thursday with an "exclusive announcement", joking - perhaps - that he is the club's new manager.

He said: "Hello my friends, I would like to tell you in exclusivity that I am the new manager of Manchester United."
