The start of the letter is taken up with Fergie talking about how he kept expecting the striker to show up for training before going on to update Cantona on United's pre-season and the signing of Teddy Sheringham.

"I have not won the European Cup and it does get to me at times. However, I just have to carry on and not put up a mental barrier and I have always had that belief and trust in my players and wish to continue to do so. I keep hoping that I will discover a young Cantona. It is a dream!

Oh this, it's just something in my eye.
