FORMER Manchester United and France footballer Eric Cantona has been spotted out and about around Belfast today.
The four-time Premier League winner had been in the city for an event with fans at the Waterfront Hall on Monday night.
However the Old Trafford legend also decided to take in the sights of the city today, including a visit to the George Best mural at Sandy Row.
Cantona, who, like Best, also wore the famous United number 7 jersey, posted a picture on Instgram of himself at the mural, with the comment: “Seven’s Gang.”
However it wasn’t the only stop he made as he candidly toured the city’s streets, stopping for pictures with fans.
The footballer also visited the famous murals in West Belfast, posing for a picture at an Easter Rising mural on the Falls Road.
