Veron in new Lazio hint Monday 17 June, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juan Sebastian Veron has again stated that he would like to return to Lazio if the possibility presented itself.
The Manchester United man didn’t have the best of first seasons at Old Trafford since his switch from the Italian capital, and has strongly been linked with a return.
"I have a contract with Manchester but anything could happen. Manager Alex Ferguson has told me that he wants to keep me but things can change on a daily basis here," he is reported as saying.
"There is a possibility that I could return to Rome even if from what I hear Lazio aren’t having an easy time of it. If I decide to join Lazio then it will be a decision from the heart."
Veron is still a crowd favourite with the Olimpico faithful and his return could see some wounds heal between the club and the support who were angry at his £29m sale.
"If there is the possibility of returning then I will," he added.
"My heart has always been Biancoceleste – the colour of my national team and Lazio. It is difficult to forget the emotions I felt when we won the championship."
Veron made an instant impression on the Premiership in the opening months but as time went on his form dipped and he was heavily criticised by some sections of the British media.
"My second half of the season at United was affected by injury," he defended.
"I had to choose which games to play and that was something that I didn’t like because I want to play in every game. I want to now prove my critics wrong."
