VERON TO HAVE TALKS WITH FERGIE

Veron's representative Fernando Hidalgo said: "Juan wants
one more year at United.

"He wants to repay the club for the faith they have shown in
investing in him, and he wants to prove to Sir Alex that he
is still a good player.

"He will talk to Ferguson because he wouldn't want to leave
if the manager still sees a future for him at the club.

"I think the talks planned between Veron and Ferguson will
be critical as to whether Chelsea's interest in the player
comes to anything."

Fergie is quoted in the MEN as saying:

"I can't say much about this because I don't know a lot
about it except what you read in the papers. There has been
an enquiry, but that is as far as it has gone. I have not
talked to him about it and I won't at this moment until
there is something concrete.

"There is no need to. The player doesn't want to go. He is
happy. He is enjoying his football here. The circumstances
may change because we simply don't know what the offer is."
