3. Juan Sebastian Veron - Signed from Lazio in 2001 for £28.1 Million
The most expensive flop under the Sir Alex Ferguson reign, Veron signed for Manchester United only a year after driving Lazio towards the league title as well as the Italian Cup. The Argentinean midfielders spell at Old Trafford was not a great success, he had trouble adapting to the faster pace of the Premier League and was not allowed the same space and time on the ball. There was pressure on him right from the start of his second season; however he did manage to put in a handful of decent performance in the Champions League. Scoring four goals and was at the heart of Uniteds successes in the group stages. However, injuries meant that Veron would miss much of the remainder of the season; and the continual pressure and criticism from fans and the media led to an expletive laden tirade against the media
by Sir Alex Ferguson. Veron is a f****** great player, and youre all f****** idiots. Veron was then
sold to Chelsea for £15 million and is now Director of Sports for his old club Estudiantes.
