And the 41-year-old believes the current crop of United players - inspired by Ferguson - are capable of winning the continent's top competition for a third time this year.
'I very much hope that United will win the Champions League this season,' Cantona said.
Cantona went on to explain that the Scot's thirst to consistently hit new heights was behind his longevity, insisting he remains 'the greatest'.
'He always sets new goals for his players. If he wins the Champions League this year, he will find a new target for next year.
'That is why he has been at Old Trafford for 21 years. He always finds something more after a win, that is why he is the greatest.'

minute of my life I will have this club in my heart.'
