SIR ALEX FERGUSON and Eric Cantona are set for a one-night-only special reunion.

The legendary former Manchester United boss will join his star striker for an exclusive on-stage interview next month.

The in-conversation event will take place at Aviva Studios in Manchester on December 7.

Organisers have said Ferguson and Cantona “will share personal memories of their years together and reflect on the relationship that defined an era at Old Trafford.”

It will follow the screening of Cantona: Flower of Evil, a new documentary exploring the 60-year-old’s remarkable journey through football.

The film also features fellow Old Trafford icon David Beckham, alongside former manager Guy Roux.

Fans who cannot make it to Manchester will not miss out, with the conversation broadcast live to cinemas across the UK and Ireland.

Cantona became a cult hero at United after his controversial switch from bitter rivals Leeds in 1992.

The Frenchman went on to win four Premier League titles and two FA Cups under Ferguson.

And the film will reveal how the iconic manager channelled the brilliance of such a captivating athlete.

The documentary has already received rave reviews following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

Tickets for the exclusive event are already on sale, while cinema tickets will be available from November 17.

Fans will also get a second chance to experience the film on the big screen with an encore screening on December 12.
