The former Manchester United forward Eric Cantona has joined the New York Cosmos as their new director of soccer.

The 44-year-old, who retired as a professional player nearly 14 years ago, was voted United's player of the century after sparking a trophy-winning revival at Old Trafford.

"I am very honoured to join the legendary New York Cosmos," Cantona said.

"It's a big project, a wonderful project. The Cosmos are very strong, beautifully made, with a great past. It's kind of a mix between football and art."

The newly-revived side, who ceased operations in the mid-1980s, have the eventual goal of returning to Major League Soccer.
