Prior to the game, Cantona expressed a brief message of support to his former team, confidently stating that United "will" emerge victorious and possess the capability to triumph against any opposition they face.
"Come on United for this FA Cup final," said Cantona.
"You will win it. You can beat anybody, anywhere, any time."
