It is true. Wilkinson wasn't happy with Cantona and saw the opportunity to off-load him.
As you know, United never looked back after that.
Eric was the kind of player that seemed to understand what was going on around him, with an uncanny ease.
Some of the passes he made, when he had his back to the play were sheer genius. One step ahead...all the time.
Never seen anything like him before, or since.
