let us know your memories of Juan Sebastian Veron & any other comments below, thanks for watching.

In Argentina the call him la brujita (The witch). He was one of the greatest midfielders in that era. Sampdoria, Parma, Lazio, Inter, ManU, and Chelsea. Vision and charisma.

Veron was a brilliant passer

He was good in Europe .. more time less physical

Anyone who understands football and who watched Veron during that time, could tell he was a tremendous player. I think Neville is spot on with his assessment. It was clueless fans who thought he was overrated. #GlazersOutNow

Superb footballer similarly to crespo at Chelsea just didn't fit in that well with the Premier league and the club. But there was moments of class.

Veron was an excellent footballer with excellent composure on the ball and lots of experience with Argentina's national team so it is bollocks to suggest he was overwhelmed by being at United. To add to what Gary said, I think another key factor for Veron not adapting that well was that Keane was fading off at that point and couldn't provide the midfield protection that Veron needed to work his magic. Same too for the back four. I believe at that time they had Rio and Mikel and it didn't stabilize until Gabriel Heinze, Vidic and Evra came in much later, so whenever Veron's high-risk passes got intercepted there was always a real risk it could lead to a goal. The pace and style of the PL probably also played a part but Veron's true value was in the Champions League. He was fantastic and his injury coincided with United getting knocked out of the competition in one of this final years at United.

Had the pleasure of seeing him when i worked in the stadium ('02-'03 season). Technically superb

We could do with a Veron in our current team right now.

Excellent interview. I have wondered why Veron didn't work out. Very classy move on Gary Nevilles part.

Such a shame we couldn't see the best of Seba. Wonderful technique

I liked veron, I remember the Tottenham game when we were 3-0 down at half time and he scored the goal to put us 4-3 up great memories

Used to love watching him and becks pinging 50 yard passes to each other pre game.

Veron was absolute class. The style of the premier league just wasnt ready for him. He would fit straight in now

I loved Veron, what a player. ❤

Still glad he did his bit for Utd. An amazing player with great technique

I almost cried with joy when we signed Veron. My prayers had been answered.

Selling Jaap, Fergie discussing retirement and moving to three CMs cost us the league in 2002. We could have done four in a row otherwise.

Great explanation by Gary.

Verón was one of most the technically gifted players I'd seen.😲 One pre match he Beckham and Scholes were spraying passes ⚽ to each other. 🙌🏾

I was so excited to see veron hugely disappointed he was never the same again

A good explanation by Gary

Couldn't agree more. Veron was possibly the best player in that midfield but Fergie couldn't work the system to get the best out of him. One of the boss' few failures. Imagine Veron dictating in midfield now! He could be the de Jong type ten Hag is craving

Exciting times with ruud and veron coming and remember thinking we'd be more dominant in Europe but didn't work out even though on paper it should have.

Should have kept Scholes next to Keano and played Veron in behind Van Nistelrooy

Look how long it took to transition to that 433, and that was arguably our best team/squad ever. That's why we HAVE to give Erik Ten Hag time to implement his style

Veron wasn't as bad as is made out he was absolutely superb in Europe. The problem was stam leaving and blanc coming in utd were vulnerable at the back . If stam would off stayed it would of been a much more balanced team .

should get more videos on players like you did on Cantona ,Robson, Scholes like see a Vidic video since don't think you've not done a video on defender yet i think

Whether United fans want to admit or accept it, the reason Veron ultimately didn’t work out was Ferguson. Ferguson was never a coach. He was old Skool manager. He didn’t know what to do with such a modern technically gifted South American. Anyone that remembers Veron in Italy before he came to united knows his true quality. Yes, Italy was a slower league with slightly more time on the ball but Veron didn’t need time to know what to do. He could dictate any pace. You don’t buy a player like Veron with that mystical element who can float around the pitch like a Ballet dancer and tell him he needs to play in a certain structure. At Lazio he was told to play with freedom. And it worked with devastating effect.

I was in a bar in Portugal and Denis law and an entourage were there, I asked Denis if we had got Veron, he said hang on, spoke to a lady there then said to me yes we have but it hasn't come out yet.

Class player

Beckham took his spot great player veron still turning out good vids lads well done 👍👍👍👍

Gary said it was difficult to change systems, a struggle during SAF time. You want Ten Hag to change system and you expect overnight success esp with this crop of players.

First “ready made/name” world class Player United signed under Sir Alex..

Was fortunate to see him play 2 of his finest games in a united shirt, away v Juventus and away v Olympiakos. Juve fans were not happy after an hour and losing 3-0 so started throwing their seats at us. 😅 Olympiakos threw lighters, eggs and other stuff 🤣 it was mad 😂

At the moment, United have no playing style/structure. After 5 or 6 completely different managers, we have no identity. Ten Hag was brought in to give us one, but it appears he has been allowed to give up on that idea, leaving us with even more buy/sell headaches. When we crash out of the CL and it becomes impossible to qualify for the CL, Sir Jim will get an itchy trigger finger. It’s up to him to plan for that event. As a successful business man with experience of running football clubs, in the lead up to that point, he should ensure the club decide what the f*** they want to be, so when the time comes they can appoint the necessary staff to build the new identity; football director, scouting department, manager and coaches, and give those that don’t fit the new identity a ‘thanks very much, but it’s time to leave now’ conversation. Instead of this wishy washy nobody knows what’s going on bullshit we see at the moment. This club lacks conviction, and that’s on the Glazers, as it’s their responsibility to ensure those that operationally run the club, are capable of doing so, especially at one of the world’s biggest sporting institutions. I think Sir Jim will know this, and he will be savvy and ruthless enough to make the changes.

When will Gary Neville explain why things did not work out for him at Valencia

Always remember Fergie saying about a goal that Veron scored on the training ground was one of the greatest goals he’d ever seen. He was wasted at United and should have signed for a European team

"We were a 4 4 2 club basically for 10 years" What are we now basically with the players we have realistically?

Sir Alex didn’t know how to use him.

He was there at the wrong time for him. A far better player than what came after that....carrick n fletcher played a lot for a lot of years, he was better than those. Obviously better than any of the dross signed in the last 15 years!

I always thought Seba was so much better in European matches than EPL

Sebo was class in his second season for us and his performances did not get the credit he deserves! Was gutted when he left!

Always said this about veron. Just didn't fit into the system at the time. Right player, wrong system

Good thing about Fergie, he'd get rid of any signing that didn't work, not stick with him to try and prove a point....Re Ten Hag /Antony.....

Bring back 4-4-2

A goal against Everton and Spurs in the 3-5 that's it

I think it may have worked a bit better if scholes was behind him in Cm and veron got a more free CAM role… his story is similar to pogbas, except pogba played in a crap team.

He was a defensive midfielder , should have replaced Roy Keane or played alongside as a double pivot instead of playing him more forward

Did'nt work out at Chelsea for him either did it?

Him and Scholes in midfield had the potential to be brilliant shame it never worked out

I respect Gary's opinion, but justifying Veron's poor performances to a change of formation is ridiculous. These were some of the best players in their positions in world football. Its not like we were putting Veron in the Goalkeeper position. He played in his favored position alongside world-class players in a team that just came off winning the CL & multiple PL trophies. End of the day, despite his natural talent, his form was too inconsistent, especially in the PL. The fact Chelsea payed us what was 16mil+ for him showed what Fergie thought of his performances, and they certainly didn't improve upon leaving us. It makes me sad to think about actually, because i loved watching him play, he had a certain elegance and flair that made people stand up in their seats, it was that passing & shooting technique (he had a tendency to score some beautiful goals because of this) that made me love him so much.

Certain players can't adapt to the Premier league and that's why it's the best league in the world

Only would have worked in 5 man midfield, keane and schole were just better players

Veron always tried to play the hollywood pass. The true greats say like zidane dont

he should have stayed in Italy ! his game is more suited to the Italian game 🤔

Neville explaining why SAF only won 2 CL whilst with United.

Brilliant player but not suited to Prem

Veron was a bit out of place. He was English football's first mega money signing of a new era. Ahh. 4-4-2. Magic numbers.

Unsubscribed because united stand is better

I think Gary Neville has a tendency to sexualise football players to easily
