#PLHistory #premierleaguestories on Feb 3 1993 – I left because #HowardWilkinson couldn’t accept to live in my shadow – #EricCantona opens up about Leeds exit

Eric Cantona finally broke his silence on the reasons behind his premature separation from Leeds United and hinted that Manchester United may have to put up with more of the same.

Eric Cantona said “ I’m going to have a nice adventure in Manchester United, just like I did at Leeds. Those who accept being in my shadow are intelligent people because they know I make them win. And certainly, there are those who don’t accept it. Howard Wilkinson didn’t and when that happens we separate.”
