In 2001 Veron moved from Lazio to Manchester United on 12 July for £28.1 million in a five-year deal, the most expensive transfer in English football at that time. On signing for Manchester United, he was quoted as saying that he had no fear of the Premiership.
However, his spell at Old Trafford was not a great success. Questions over his performance led to an expletive laden tirade against the media by manager Ferguson in support of Veron. However, fans and pundits alike agreed that the signing was an expensive flop.
His transfer fee to Chelsea was about half that of his record-breaking transfer of just two years before.
