Cantona to figure in Scholes testimonial

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is coming back to Old Trafford.

Cantona's return has been confirmed as part of Paul Scholes' testimonial match on 5th August, when the Frenchman will coach the legendary New York Cosmos side, currently bidding to gain admittance to Major League Soccer.
The charismatic striker is regarded as one of the most significant figures in the club's entire history, proving to be the catalyst for United's emergence as the dominant side of the Premier League era.
He quit suddenly in 1997, having won four titles and two domestic doubles in his five seasons at Old Trafford.

"I wish to congratulate Paul for such an incredible career at Manchester United and I am looking forward to returning to Old Trafford in my new role with the New York Cosmos," said Cantona, who recently celebrated his 45th birthday.
Following David Beckham's return for Gary Neville's testimonial last month, it marks another significant day for United, and Scholes in particular.
Scholes said: "This is going to be a big night for me and my family but one which I intend to enjoy and I will savour every moment.
"I have spent my whole footballing life at Manchester United, so this will be an emotional farewell. This club is special in many ways but the fans are the best and I have always appreciated their support throughout my career.
"I hope they enjoy the night, especially seeing the Boss and Eric battling it out in front of the dug-outs."
