      Veron joined the Red Devils in 2001 with high expectations following five stunning years in Serie A and the Argentine national team.
      The Argentine played for the likes of Sampdoria, Parma and Lazio beforehand.
      However, the midfielder couldn’t replicate the same performances at Old Trafford where he amassed a total of 11 goals and 15 assists in 82 appearances across all competitions.
      The ex-Argentina international left the Manchester giants for Premier League rivals Chelsea in 2003.

      However, Veron also struggled at Stamford Bridge where he registered a mere 14 appearances with one goal to his name.
      The versatile midfielder also underwent two loan stints at Inter Milan and Estudiantes during his four-year stint with the Blues.
      That led to a permanent move to Estudiantes where he stayed until 2012.
      Veron moved to Brandsen 11 years ago for a few months before undergoing two more stints at Estudiantes until his retirement in 2017.

      The now 48-year-old is still with the Argentinean giants as he serves as the club’s chairman.
      And one of the players he has in his squad is his own son Deian, who has been playing at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi since his was a child.
      The 23-years-old, who also plays as a midfielder, is still on Estudiantes’ books.
      Deian has played a total of seven times for the first team since his promotion in 2021.
      But he is now undergoing a loan stint with Central Cordoba where he has competed in 19 games.
      Deian is looking to extend his family’s legacy as his grandfather Juan Ramon, his uncle Iani and his great-uncle Petro Verde, who played for Sheffield United, were all professionals. More

      Erik ten Hag is keen to reinforce his backline after inconsistent performances this season.
      And with four back-to-back draws, Pep Guardiola’s side are in trouble as the league title is slowly drifting away.
      In the hope of restoring their faith, both bosses are said to have their radar on high alert for Lille defender Yoro, according to Le10.
      The French outlet claims that the clubs have made a “very concrete move towards Ligue 1” for the wonderkid.

      It is said the teams have been in contact with Lille ahead of the January window.
      Yoro is one of the French league’s most talented prospects having made his first senior appearance in May 2022.
      He is the second youngest ever Lille player, with Eden Hazard in third.
      But the Ligue 1 giants are said to be “pushing very hard to try and keep their player by extending his contract.”

      The France U21 star still has another term left on his contract as it is set to expire in June 2025.
      However, Lille are said to be open to finding a deal that can suit all parties involved.
      So far Yoro has made just six appearances this season but has scored two goals in both Ligue 1 and the Europa Conference League.
      If he made a move across the Channel, Yoro would follow in the footsteps of other former Ligue 1 talents such as William Saliba Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Guimaraes and Jeremy Doku. More

      The centre-back hasn’t started for the Red Devils since October’s Champions League win against Copenhagen.
      The former France international was on the bench during Saturday’s loss at Newcastle with left-back Luke Shaw filling in for him at the back next to Harry Maguire.
      However, Ten Hag reinstated Shaw in his natural position against Chelsea and had Victor Lindelof team up with Maguire at centre-back.
      Evra believes the recent team selections make no sense when it comes to his fellow Frenchman.

      The former full-back insists the Dutch tactician can’t just omit a four-time Champions League winner like Varane unless there is a serious reason.
      Evra told Amazon Prime: “Something is wrong.
      “Luke Shaw, no matter if he plays good or bad, I don’t want to see him at centre-back.
      “He’s a left-back. when you play for a club like Manchester United and have defenders like Lindelof, Maguire, Varane, and you still have to use Luke Shaw at centre-back, there’s something wrong.

      “I played centre-back in some games for United but because of an emergency. I played centre-back for Juventus because I was old.
      “Luke Shaw is still young, the movements are completely different so you can get injured really easily.
      “I’m really happy that Luke Shaw is back in his real position, we’ll get more balance.
      “I don’t take away any credit when he plays centre-back because he was fantastic against Newcastle.
      “But you have a four-time Champions League winner and he’s not in the team.” More

      Marcus Rashford ‘believes he is playing all right and will be at the club longer than Ten Hag’, ex-Man Utd star blasts

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED cult hero Paul Parker has urged Marcus Rashford to “look in the mirror” and admit his performances have been below par this season.Rashford has struggled to replicate last term’s stunning campaign that brought him 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances.

      He has only two goals and four assists in 18 games this season and was sent off at Copenhagen and subbed off at Newcastle – but Parker believes the England forward cannot admit his performances are simply not up to scratch.
      In fact, the former defender feels like Rashford is playing like he knows he will be at United longer than Erik ten Hag, following reports suggesting the Dutchman has lost the dressing room.
      Parker told mybettingsites.co.uk: “It’s quite easy to go back to basics. What you do is to embrace the people around you, which are your so-called team-mates.
      “But what you have to do is to look in the mirror and believe that you are having a bad time, and I think Rashford believes he is playing all right. He believes he is doing enough.

      “He came off the pitch against Newcastle. He should be disappointed, shake his hands with his manager, who should tell him that he supports him in a bad time.
      “But I don’t think Rashford believes that he is having a bad time. I think he really thinks that he doesn’t deserve to be subbed off.
      “A lot of players don’t realise that it’s a team game. Marcus Rashford can only find his form if he actually looks in the mirror and realises that he is having a bad time.
      “He believes that he will be at Man United longer than Erik ten Hag. The manager is the players´ commodity.

      “The players have played under a lot of managers, but now they should really decide to stick with him.

      “They have to give Erik ten Hag a chance instead of moaning. They are not going to win the battle against Erik ten Hag.” More

      Man Utd star Jadon Sancho handed huge blow as ‘European giants back out of January move due to transfer concern’

      Sancho claimed in a now deleted social media post that he has been made a “scapegoat” by his manager after he was left out the squad for a trip to Arsenal in September.
      The 23-year-old has since refused to apologise and has therefore been banished from training and can’t even use the same facilities as his team-mates.
      There has been reports that Juventus could offer Sancho an escape route with United keen to sell.
      However, new claims from Tuttosport say that the Italian side have decided to back out of a January move.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      This is supposedly because Sancho will cost too much.
      Juventus would rather prioritise a deal for Sassuolo star Domenico Berardi.
      But their Serie A rivals do not want to let their main man go during the season.
      Attention could then turn to Shakhtar Donetsk’s Georgiy Sudakov instead.

      New Man Utd boss ‘considering bringing Mason Greenwood BACK in bombshell U-turn’ after strong Getafe performances

      by

      MANCHESTER United’s new bosses could reportedly “consider bringing Mason Greenwood back” in a bombshell U-turn.The striker, 22, has netted four times in 11 matches since joining Getafe FC on a season-long loan, including a wonder strike against Almeria in November.

      Greenwood headed to LaLiga after bosses ruled he could not continue his career at Old Trafford following an investigation into his off-field behaviour.
      However, the ex-Prem star is still technically a United player as he’s only at the Spanish outfit on loan.
      Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to complete a purchase of 25 per cent of the Old Trafford side in a deal worth £1.3bn.
      The British billionaire will then assume control of the club’s footballing operations, including transfers.

      With change afoot, a new board and CEO at the Red Devils will likely see transfer business approached from a new angle.
      And this means discussions over Greenwood’s situation and future are on the cards again, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      But no decisions are said to have been made yet, reports the Italian journalist.
      Romano, writing in his exclusive Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, said: “Incoming co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is already discussing Greenwood’s situation internally, and from what I’m told, he’s made no decision at all and nothing will be decided in December.
      Most read in Football
      “So the idea is to take some time and just let Greenwood play football. Then, based on his performances for Getafe, Man United will discuss their position and that of the player.
      “This will likely take place in March, April or May.
      “There will be many different factors to consider, and obviously the new Man United board will have a new CEO and new people in charge of the transfer market, meaning that they will all decide on transfer business together.”
      The 22-year-old was arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      Greenwood denied all the charges and they were later dropped by the CPS.
      His last appearance for United came in a 1-0 win over West Ham on January 22, 2022.
      The former England star was farmed out to the Spaniards on transfer deadline day to try to rebuild his career away from the spotlight.
      But Greenwood remains a United player and is under contract until 2025.
      It comes as The Sun reported Valencia and Real Sociedad are understood to both be “monitoring” the England striker and could be poised to make a move in the summer.
      Our source said: “Mason has done brilliantly since he moved to Spain and is really catching the eye after a strong start to his time at Getafe.
      “There are a number of clubs looking at him in Spain with scouts from Valencia and Sociedad seemingly at the front of the queue.
      “It is highly unlikely Mason will return to Manchester United.
      “That ship has sailed, and he looks set to enjoy the next phase of his career in Spain where he has really settled and found his feet both personally and professionally.
      “He owes a huge debt to Getafe for the help and support they have given him, and it’s possible he could make his move there permanent at the end of the season.
      Read more on The Sun
      “But if he carries on playing like he is, other bids and offers are likely to come in, leaving Mason, and the club, with a decision to make.
      “After a very difficult year or so Mason feels like his career is on the up.”
