Premiership: Veron vows to join United

Juan Sebastian Veron has revealed that he will join Manchester United from Lazio in a £23.4m on deal next week.

The Argentinian wants to move to Old Trafford to fulfil a childhood ambition.

Veron was cleared this week over passport irregularities in Italy and is now hotly tipped to make the switch to the Premiership.

He said: "I definitely want to sign for the club. It would fill me with pride to wear the shirt of Manchester United."
