The Eric Cantona egg saga took another twist today after the Manchester United legend posted a follow-up picture on Instagram.

Cantona’s bizarre and explicit post of an egg being broken by a man’s genitals broke the internet – and people’s souls – before it was eventually deleted from his account.

And on Thursday, the French ex-footballer and actor broke his silence.

He posted a picture of a banana resting on top of an egg.

The post had prompted a combination of outrage, bemusement and hilarity on social media.

One user, Tony Cuddihy, issued an apology on Twitter after he watched the clip in a busy restaurant.
