Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole claims Eric Cantona appeared immune from Sir Alex Ferguson’s infamous ‘hairdryer treatment’.
Cantona is widely regarded as having played a major talismanic role in the revival of the Red Devils as a footballing powerhouse and he enjoys iconic status at the club and in English football.
In an extract from Glory, Glory, a book written by Andy Mitten about United in the 1990s, and serialised in the Manchester Evening News, Cole said of the Frenchman: "He was the only player I saw who the manager never had a go at.
"We all went to a film premiere and were told to wear black ties. Eric turned up in a cream lemon suit with Nike trainers.
"The manager told him that he looked fantastic!"
