Former Manchester United forward Eric Cantona will be presented the 2019 UEFA President's Award in recognition of his playing career and commitment to charitable causes after it, European soccer's governing body said today.

The 53-year-old Frenchman will receive the award in Monaco on Thursday during the Champions League group stage draw. "This award not only recognises his career as a player of the highest calibre, but also honours him for the person he is," UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said. — Reuters
