Veron comeback from injury is delayed

MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron’s comeback from a knee injury has been put back. The Argentina international was due to return to action last night in a reserve clash with Leeds after treatment in Italy.

Veron has not played since suffering the problem during the Premiership match with Leeds last month, although United remain hopeful he will be fit to face Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final next week.

Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy wants Manchester United to go on and bury Arsenal’s title dream.
