'Passionate' Cantona Kung fu kicked coffee table after Man U relinquished PL title

London, July 23(ANI): Former Manchester United captain Eric Cantona had kung fu kicked a coffee table after watching his former club dramatically lose their Premier League title on the last day of the season.

Cantona's son Raphael revealed his dad's anguish to a United fan, Jonathan Cruise in Barcelona.

Raphael said they watched the season's finale on television and thought the Red Devils had held on to the title as rivals Manchester City were being held at home by Queens Park Rangers.

But City's Sergio Aguero scored a winner with just seconds left to hand the Premier League trophy to the blue side of Manchester on goal difference.aphael said his dad, famed for his Kung Fu attack on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons in 1995, kicked out at the coffee table.

"It was about 2 a.m. and I had gone outside for a cigarette. A guy kindly asked me for a cigarette so I gave him one and he then asked me where I was from. When I said 'from Manchester' he smiled. He went on to ask me if I was a blue or a red and when I said 'red' he smiled even more," The Daily Mirror quoted Cruise, as saying.

"He went on to say 'my father is the king in Manchester' and when I asked what he meant he said his dad was Eric Cantona. He went on to tell me what had happened on the last day of the season with a big grin on his face," he added.

"He said the coffee table just disintegrated onto the carpet and we had a laugh at what had happened," he said.

Cruise further said: "When we got back to England we checked his Facebook account and there is no doubt it was definitely Raphael. He was a sound guy. It shows just how passionate his dad still is about United." (ANI)
