Sam, I disagree.
I believe that overall Veron was misinterpreted at Manchester United. He was the scorer of numerous spectacular goals and constructed assists for his teammates on a regular basis. Undoubtedly he saved him best performances for Europe where he performed as one of the best in the world, but contary to popular belief Veron did often perform well in the premiership. Towards the latter stages of his time at United he was a victim of injury, but he did enough to convince Alex Ferguson to hurry him back from injury in time to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter final.
One particular memory which i witnessed in person, was a Veron masterclass that destroyed Birmingham City, Veron scoring and dictating play for match in its entirety.
The English press misjudged Veron, he had no impact at Chelsea due to minimal appearences, but at Manchester United he often performed well. This is emphasized in the fact that United season ticket holders held Veron in high regard, and were dissapointed to see him leave, if my memory of a United fanzine serves me correctly.
