Cristiano Ronaldo could match Eric Cantona claims Paul Ince.
The Red Devils have re-signed Cristiano Ronaldo on a two-year contract and could help bring glory to Old Trafford once again.
Great things are expected even though the forward is now 36-years old and was the top scorer in Serie A last year netting 29 goals.
Former Red Devils midfielder Paul Ince believes Ronaldo could have a similar impact as that of Eric Cantona in 1993.
“Cantona was probably the final piece of the jigsaw that was missing for us, although we should have won the title the season before,” Ince told the Mirror.
“When Cantona came in, we already had a great team. United haven’t got a great team right now.
“They’ve got a very good team, which they’re trying to make great, but Ronaldo can be the driving force for that. His arrival will lift the fans and lift the players. You’re talking about a serial winner, one of the greatest players to ever grace a football pitch.
“Every player, when Ronaldo walks through the door, will be lifted. That will heighten the intensity on the training ground and when they walk out at Old Trafford.
“He’ll have that effect. He can show the players what it’s like to be a European winner, a Champions League winner.
“He knows how to conduct himself on and off the pitch, how to train, what to eat. That can only benefit United and their pursuit of winning the title.
“But he’s not going to be the Ronaldo of 12 years ago, running up and down the wing. He’s a centre-forward now and it’s important United have the players to get the ball to him.”
