Rashford Hails ‘King Eric’ Cantona After Passing Striker’s Goal Haul For Red Devils

Marcus Rashford has admitted that passing Eric Cantona’s goals total for Manchester United is a ‘special moment’ as he follows in the footsteps of the legendary striker.

United marksman Rashford scored in the first half as United hammered Southampton 9-0 on the Old Trafford turf where Cantona once strutted, putting him past the icon’s tally of 82 goals for the club.

Revealing his joy on Twitter, Rashford said: ‘Special moment for me as a boyhood United fan, passing King Eric’s record. Loved it out there tonight, great team performance.’
