A very interesting article today on Soccernet looking back at Juan Sebastian Veron's time at Manchester United and what was and what was not the reason for his lack of success with the Red Devils.
Verón became a scapegoat, rightly or wrongly, for United's failings when his manager was truly the man to blame.Sir Alex unsettled his team's shape, their style, and more importantly his best players in a narrow pursuit of European glory. The signing of La Brujita really was the cat that pulled the string that unraveled one golden United era, for the many reasons that the article goes into. But to Sir Alex's credit, he has rebuilt his team with the lessons learned from that time.
The highlight for me of the Veron era was his pre-match ritual of exchanging 60-yard passes with Beckham. Such incredible skill displayed so effortlessly.
