Ready for a football weekend that’s pure gold? You’re off to Manchester, home of the most intense football rivalry in the world, hosted by the one and only Eric Cantona. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a chance to meet The King himself, dive into Manchester’s buzzing football culture, and live one of the biggest derbies on the planet — United vs City at Old Trafford.
It all kicks off with a masterclass with Cantona. Yes, THE Eric Cantona. From kung-fu kicks to trophy wins, you’ll hear the stories only he can tell. Bring your questions, but more importantly, bring your best banter — you’re talking to a man who’s as sharp off the pitch as he was on it.
And if you think it stops there, think again. Afterward, we’ll head to one of Manchester’s legendary pubs for an unforgettable fan chant experience with King Eric. Grab a pint, enjoy some bites, and sing the most iconic Manchester United chants, especially those honoring Cantona himself. It’s the perfect blend of football passion, great atmosphere, and a true Red Devil legend.
Then, comes the main event — the Manchester Derby. Red vs Blue. The passion, the tension, the roar of the crowd at Old Trafford. This is football at its most intense, and you’ll be right in the heart of it. The city will be buzzing, and you’ll be part of the action.
It’s Cantona, it’s Manchester, it’s football madness. What more could you ask for? Buckle up, this is going to be a weekend for the history books!

Eric Cantona
There’s only one rebel, one King and that’s Eric Cantona — the man who made popping your collar a symbol of football dominance. When Cantona arrived at Manchester United in 1992, he didn’t just join the club, he transformed it. With swagger, audacity, and more than a bit of chaos, Cantona led United to four Premier League titles and two FA Cups in just five years. His chip against Sunderland, his jaw-dropping goals, and his savage spirit still give defenders nightmares.
But let’s be real — Cantona wasn’t just a player. He was a character. The kung-fu kick heard around the world? Iconic. The mysterious, philosophical one-liners? Pure gold. He was football’s ultimate anti-hero—the player who brought as much drama off the pitch as on it. Sir Alex Ferguson called him “the catalyst,” but fans simply called him The King.
Cantona wasn’t just a game-changer on the field, he was the heart and soul of United’s resurgence in the 90s. With every flick, every outrageous goal, and every stare-down with an opponent, Cantona made football art. He didn’t just win titles — he ruled Old Trafford with an iron will and a devilish grin.
And now, Cantona’s legacy goes beyond football. He’s an actor, an artist, and a living legend who’s still unapologetically himself. Whether it’s a pitch or a pub, when you’re in the presence of Eric, you’re in the presence of the King.
