Eric Cantona admits he would 'love' the opportunity to manage Manchester United in a few years' time.
The Frenchman established himself as a United legend during four-and-a-half years at Old Trafford in the 1990s.
He won four Premier League titles during his time with the Red Devils and was the catalyst behind the club's domestic domination.
Cantona retired in 1997 and has since taken up acting, but concedes he would enjoy the chance to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as United boss.
Exciting
"Today I do exciting things and I am proving many things," Cantona told Sky Sports News.
"Today I can enjoy it even more, but maybe in the future, in a few years' time when Ferguson retires, yeah, why not? I'd love to."
When asked if there were any other clubs he would be willing to manage, Cantona replied: "No, Manchester United...or the England national team."
Cantona was one of the first overseas players to make a major impact in the Premier League, but is concerned about the current foreign influence in the English game.
He added: "I think it's important to have a minimum of English or British players in the squad and to still work on the young players.
"For the national team, it's very bad.
"To have the best chance to win things, you must have as much as possible with English players to have a big choice and work hard on young players."
