Gary Neville has warned football runs the risk of driving characters out of the game – and believes his former Manchester United team-mate Eric Cantona would have been a victim.
Cantona famously moved to United after falling out with managers in France, winning the First Division with Leeds and then running into problems with his boss Howard Wilkinson.
He came with a somewhat negative reputation but went on to inspire United to their first title in more than a quarter of a century.
Footballers have faced criticism for their actions during lockdown and Neville believes the likes of Cantona would have hit out at the requirements put on players these days.
