ERIC Cantona returned to Manchester on the day of United's Champions League victory.

The Reds' legend stunned onlookers when he arrived at film production offices at Ellesmere Road for a meeting with film director Ken Loach.

The pair are working together on a new film - provisionally titled Finding Eric.

It is expected to chart Cantona's glory years at Old Trafford as one of the game's most talented, colourful, and charismatic stars.

Eric turned up on Ellesmere Road at 11am in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes van.

Cantona, 42 tomorrow, spent several hours working on the film, which is being made on locations around Chorlton.
