#2 Juan Sebastian Veron
Juan Sebastian Veron came to England bearing quite the reputation when he joined Manchester United in 2001 from Lazio for what, at the time, was a world-record fee of £28m.
Veron was regarded as the complete midfielder and had everything to succeed at United. In fact, you could say that he was the Paul Pogba of his era. Blessed with technical ability, vision and a wicked shot from distance, it’s a wonder why Veron wasn’t a hit at Old Trafford.
The pace of the English game seemed to intimidate him, and in the end, he just didn’t seem suited.
Despite wanting to stay at United and fight for his place, the player was allowed to speak to Chelsea and was convinced to make the £15m move by Claudio Ranieri. He started brightly at Stamford Bridge, but injuries limited his time there to just 15 appearances for the Blues.
He would spend the next two years on loan at Inter Milan, before returning home to Argentina to join his boyhood club Estudiantes.
