Man Utd Legend Eric Cantona Throws Support Behind Common Goal in New Mentor Role

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has become the latest name to support Common Goal, with the Frenchman assuming the new position of 'Common Goal Mentor' and placing the 'full force of his unique and powerful personality' behind the cause.

Common Goal has so far seen more than 60 footballers from around the world pledge 1% of their salary to charities tackling social challenges and striving to improve local communities.

As a Mentor, Cantona will represent and promote the Common Goal cause.

“Football should be for the people. There is no reason why the major actors in the game today cannot come together and support the social aspect of football.
