London: The former Manchester United great Eric Cantona has sung the praises of the Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder, insisting that the 27-year-old attacking midfielder is exactly what the Old Trafford club needs.
Goal.com revealed exclusively last week that the Dutchman has told Manchester City he would like to join the Red Devils, but the player's wage demands have continued to hold up a deal.
Now the former Red Devil has showered praise on Sneijder by likening the ex-Real Madrid man to himself.
"Sneijder is one of the best. He will be great for the team," Cantona told The Mirror.
"He is what Manchester United needs. There's no-one like him right now. He's strong. Sometimes he reminds me of myself."
Cantona spent five years at Old Trafford between 1992 and 1997, winning four Premier League titles and two FA Cups.
