The morning after the end of the 1996/97 season, Cantona requested a meeting with Ferguson. He didn't waste time in confirming his decision to leave football. Ferguson wash't very surprised.
Cantona was gone, but Old Trafford continued to echo to the 'Marseilleise'. The music would never die. Cantona was immortal.
Ferguson tried to replace him with Teddy Sheringham, who cam from Tottenham for £3.5 million.
Sheringham scored 14 goals that first season and Cole 26, but the team could not dominate at home. Arsenal were the team of that season. It was Arsenal who won the Double, and Arsenal who had the manager everyone was talking about: Arsène Wenger.
