Sir Alex's acquisition of Veron was a huge mistake. Why strengthen a midfield that doesn't need strengthening, and spend 28m pounds to do so? Veron's an awesome player, but getting him forced Man U to totally change their formation and nobody has been able to adjust to that. Also, getting rid of Stam and replacing him with Blanc (whose glory years are behind him) was a poor move also. The money would have been better spent on them strengthening their back four, perhaps with a quality defender from Italy's Serie A.

Stam moved to Lazio, and 3months later was suspended for 6months due to enhancers use.
Maybe fergie found out, and got rid. If u look at it that way, its a great sale!!! Veron is 26/28 ish....in his prime Blanc is 35/36 - still great, just too slow!
