  Man Utd legend Cantona: I would have clobbered Henry!

  Manchester United legend Eric Cantona would have clobbered Thierry Henry if he had been on the Republic of Ireland side on Wednesday night.

  The former France and Manchester United star told The Sun: "What shocks me the most quite frankly, is not the hand-ball.

  "What shocks me the most is that this player, at the end of the game, in front of the TV cameras, went to sit down next to an Ireland player to comfort him - when he had just screwed him."

  Cantona could not believe Henry chose to sit and chat with Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne after his handball set up William Gallas for the goal which ended Ireland's World Cup dream in Paris.

  Cantona, infamous for his kung-fu kick at a fan, added: "If I had been an Irishman, he wouldn't have lasted three seconds."

  Eric Cantona: Thierry Henry would not have lasted three seconds sitting next to me

  Former Red Devil alludes to violent reaction...

  

  
  

  Iconic France and Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has openly admitted he would have given Thierry Henry short shrift if he were one of the Republic of Ireland players robbed of a World Cup spot.

  Cantona’s comments seemed to be sparked by not only Henry’s handball that led to William Gallas’ equaliser, but when he decided to sit next to Irish defender Richard Dunne on the pitch after the game.

  “What shocks me the most is that this player, at the end of the game, in front of the TV cameras, went to sit down next to an Ireland player to comfort him - when he had just screwed him,” he bluntly told the Sun.

  Cantona, who notoriously kung-fu kicked a Crystal Palace fan during a game in 1995, added that Dunne was respectful not to react to Henry’s actions, but admits that he would not have had such nerve.

  He added: “If I had been an Irishman, he wouldn't have lasted three seconds.”

  Henry has been the subject of some major criticism since helping to secure France's trip to South Africa in 2010.
