Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has blasted Jose Mourinho for the umpteenth time for not allowing the Red Devils squad members play with freedom during matches.
According to a UK Sun report, the 52-year-old Cantona, faulted the Portuguese manager early in the season after discovering that United were lacking fun and creativity during matches.
The club legend while writing on Players' Tribune, has outlined the key factor responsible for Manchester United's success story under Alex Ferguson.
"All the time, I get asked the same questions about my career.
"'What was it like playing for those United teams? Why did you do so well?'
"People want some kind of complex answer. They want some kind of secret, I think. But the answer is very simple.
"Sir Alex Ferguson was the master of one thing: Whenever we took the pitch for a match, after hours and hours of work, we were allowed to be free.
"We felt total freedom to move where we wanted, to play how we wanted. I could tolerate football no other way. What is football if it is not about freedom?"
Interestingly, during his stay at Old Trafford, Cantona won four Premier League titles with the Red Devils under Ferguson.
