The former Manchester United star suggested the France boss had racial motives when selecting his squad, but the boss of the country's FA has defended the 1998 World Cup winner
French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet has hit out at Eric Cantona over his "pathetic attack" aimed at national team coach Didier Deschamps.
Cantona suggested earlier this week that Hatem Ben Arfa and Karim Benzema had been omitted from Les Bleus' squad for Euro 2016 due to their African heritage.
Deschamps' lawyer Carlos Brusa has since confirmed that his client will pursue legal action against the former Manchester United star and Le Graet has now defended the France coach.
