Eric Cantona compares dull Man Utd to an old man trying to have sex as ‘everyone is a bit disappointed’
ERIC CANTONA bizarrely compared dull Manchester United to an old man trying to have sex, saying that "everyone is a bit disappointed".
The former Red Devils striker is clearly unimpressed with the current style of play and performances under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United sit eighth in the Premier League with 25 points from 18 games, seven adrift of the Champions League places.
After recent wins over Tottenham and Manchester City, things were looking up for Solskjaer's side.
But a drab 1-1 draw at home to Everton was followed by a 2-0 defeat at Watford - with David De Gea's shocking howler gifting the Hornets the lead.
And speaking to Otro in a Christmas message, Cantona clearly is not impressed with what he has been seeing.

He said: "Manchester United occupies a special place in my heart.
"But watching United play now, it's a bit like making love as an old man.
"You try as hard as you can, but at the end of the day, everyone is a bit disappointed."
Later in the clip, Cantona was keen to clarify that he was not speaking from personal experience when he described the "old man".
He added: "When I say things, sorry, about making love as an old man, I'm not speaking about me.
"It was just a metaphor because me..." then gave a wry smile to the camera.

Cantona won four Premier League titles during his five seasons at Old Trafford.
And he is convinced United will one day get back to the heights they hit under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Frenchman said: "They will be back because it's the biggest club in the world."
