The former Man Utd player shared an explicit video on Instagram ahead of the Manchester Derby and became a trending topic. See the reactions here.
Eric Cantona shared a controversial video on Instagram, and it's had Twitter reacting ever since.
The now deleted clip sees the former Man United player holding a tablet which sees an exposed man crack an egg with his penis.
