10 footballers who made the worst career moves

#7 Juan Sebastian Veron – Manchester United

What could possibly go wrong when you are one of the best midfielders in the world and one of the greatest teams in the world come calling for you? Juan Sebastian Veron would know the answer better than anyone. After a very successful spell in Italy with Lazio, Veron signed for Manchester United for a fee of £28.1 million – a British transfer record back in the day.

However, the Argentine’s life in England didn’t quite go according to plan after he found it difficult to adjust to the pace of the Premier League and he was a passenger when he couldn’t find the same space and time on the ball that he enjoyed in the Serie A.

Injuries took over his career since then and a revival was out of the cards, he signed for Chelsea in 2003 but made only 15 appearances for the club. However, he enjoyed a late career rival with hometown club Estudiantes before deciding to hang up his boots, only to come out of retirement in 2017 to play for the club in the Copa Libertadores.
