He will always be remembered for scoring the dramatic 1996 cup final winner against liverpool in the dying minutes and his goal at st james park when newcastle hammered utd only to lose 1-0 and this was pivitol in unt overturning a 12 point margin in the title race. In europe Utd were badly hampered by the foreigner rule for part of Erics stay there so this must be taken into account. His brilliant quotes, his undoubted flair, his passion, his integrity to leave at the top of his game and not tarnish his legacy by playing on too long, his crucial goals in big games and the elegance of his play will ensure his everlasting place in utds fans hearts. Eric we will always love you and continue to sing your name at old trafford for many years to come. Your songs will ring out just like George Bests around the theatre of dreams have no doubt. Red maverick – King Eric.

One of the most overrated players to ever grace the Premiership imo. Controversial I know but he was nothing compared to the likes of Bergkamp and Zola.

Struggled to perform in Europe as well.

1.2m was a lot of money in those days, but still, a great bit of business.

Forgot to include it in the article but Souness turned down the chance to sign Cantona when he managed Liverpool! Imagine how diffferent things would be if Souness had signed Eric…
