Ferguson's dressing room rant after Cantona's kick on a fan 29 years ago TODAY

Sir Alex Ferguson's infamous dressing room rant at his Man United players in 1995 after Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan has been remembered, 29 years on from the controversial day.

United drew 1-1 at Selhurst Park that featured a moment of madness from Cantona after he launched into the crowd and kicked a supporter who had been giving him abuse during the game.

The Frenchman was given an initial two week jail sentence - reduced to 120 hours of community service - while also receiving a nine-month suspension from the FA.

Sharpe revealed during a speech at an event in 2017 that Cantona was let off the hook by the 'fuming' Scot, who instead conducted an incredible X-rated rant.

'The manager comes in and he's absolutely fuming,' said Sharpe - who made 265 appearances for the Red Devils from 1988-1996.

'There are benches in the middle of the room with shirts and balls to be signed. Cups of tea and plates of sandwiches. They're sent f****** flying everywhere. We're getting scalded and getting egg sandwiches down the back of our necks. We look at each other, thinking, f****** hell, Cantona is getting it here!

'And then he starts, the manager. F****** Pallister, you can't head anything, you can't tackle. Incey, where the f*** have you been? Sharpey, my grandmother runs f****** faster than you! You're all a f****** disgrace.
