Cantona, who was expelled twice near the end of last season and missed five games, was sent off playing for Manchester United at Glasgow Rangers last week. He was shown the red card for a foul only 90 seconds after he was booked for dissent. Cantona is eligible to play in Sunday's Charity Shield game against Blackburn Rovers at Wembley but the fiery Frenchman will miss United's league games against Queens Park Rangers, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
