Veron is not going to Chelsea, insists Ferguson

ALEX FERGUSON has insisted Juan Sebastian Veron will stay with Manchester United and face Juventus at the Giants Stadium in New York tonight.

Ferguson claimed to know nothing of speculation suggesting a £15million fee had been agreed with Chelsea for the Argentinian midfielder.

Instead, Ferguson suggested the player's agent was acting without authority and repeated his assertion Veron would still be at the club when United begin the defence of their Premiership title against Bolton on August 16.
