Notes: Veron joined the Reds for a British record £28.1million fee from Lazio on July 12, 2001, eclipsing the £19million paid by United for Ruud van Nistelrooy earlier in the summer. Veron is an exciting addition to the United squad, whose superb passing ability and vision make him stand out. He is now a regular in the Argentinian national side, where he links up with his former Lazio team-mate Simeone. Veron scored regularly for Lazio, mainly because of his skill of being in the right place at the right time. He has a blistering shot, and is equally adept at tackling opposing players
