Eric Cantona feels 'guilty' that Manchester United didn't win one more title

Eric Cantona has admitted that Manchester United would have won one more Premier League title had it not been for him.

The Old Trafford legend has revisited one of the most infamous nights of his controversial career and revealed his regret at letting Sir Alex Ferguson and his team-mates down.

Speaking about the night he leapt over an advertising hoarding at Selhurst Park to kung-fu kick Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons in January 1995, Cantona has stopped short of apologising for the incident but says he feels sorry that his subsequent nine-month ban from the game contributed towards United losing the title by a point to Blackburn.
