PARIS (Reuters) - Former French soccer star turned actor Eric Cantona took a swipe at French presidential candidate Francois Fillon on Friday, suggesting it was time to cancel the country's election given the lack of ethics and morals in the campaign.

In a 40-second sound bite on social media, the former Manchester United and France striker reacted just hours after one-time favourite Fillon accused outgoing President Francois Hollande of orchestrating a plot to derail his bid.
