Just in case there was any confusion, Eric Cantona has reminded Zlatan Ibrahimovic who rules Manchester.
In his latest installment for Eurosport, the former Manchester United forward addressed Ibrahimovic's transfer to his old stomping grounds, describing the move as the "best choice" the Swedish striker has ever made.
After elegantly describing what it means to play for Cantona, the self proclaimed Commissioner of Football had one last reminder for Ibrahimovic.
"Just one last thing, there can only be one king in Manchester," Cantona said. "You can be The Prince if you want to.
"And the the No. 7 is yours if you are interested. That is my welcome gift to you.
"The King is gone! Long live The Prince!"
"The King" spent five years at Old Trafford before retiring in 1997.
Ibrahimovic will begin his United career on Aug. 13 after joining the Premier League side on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
