I'm from the US and I'm fairly new to soccer. I have been reading a lot about Eric Cantona so I decided to watch some videos of him in action. I was surprised how they pronounced his name. I assumed it was Can-tone-uh...the announcer pronounced it Cantun-uh. Now, could anyone clarify this for me? :)

The way the announcer said was correct. Cantona is French, if that helps at all with the pronunciation.
