Veron expects to leave Old Trafford

Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron expects to be sold to a Serie A side this summer.

The Argentine cost £28m (€40m) from Lazio two years ago but will be worth much less in the current market.

He has three years remaining on his Old Trafford contract but has suggested he would be happier at Inter Milan or Juventus next season.

Veron is convinced he will be next to leave and told the Daily Mirror: “I think I will be playing in Serie A next season.

“I am flattered that a few teams are looking at me. Big players are good in big teams.

“I would not have any problems playing for Hector Cuper (at Inter Milan) or Marcello Lippi (at Juventus). I will be the right man.”

He told the Daily Star: “I have a contract that binds me to United for another three years. I wouldn’t have a problem in continuing my English adventure, but I think I’ll be back playing in Italy.”

Veron has had mixed reviews during his time in Manchester, and added: “In the first year in Manchester I wasn’t fit. I had a tendon problem but I tried to grit my teeth because I wanted to play.

“Then the knee injury disrupted my second season, although when I came back I gave my help.”
