Juan Sebastian Veron sees similarities between his career and that of Alexis Sanchez. ‘I was at my best in Italy and I think that’s true of Alexis Sanchez too.’
Both players came through Manchester United, but found their South American flair worked better in a Serie A context.
“I watched Sanchez play here, he’s got enormous talent and is fantastic for Chile,” Veron told reporters at a press conference for the Enel Cup 2020.

“I watched Sanchez play here, he’s got enormous talent and is fantastic for Chile,” Veron told reporters at a press conference for the Enel Cup 2020.
“Personally, I had some ups and downs at Manchester United, but I was at my best in Italy. I believe a player really finds he belongs in one league more than another. I know I did and I think that’s true of Alexis Sanchez too.
“He is a great representative not just of Chile, but also all of South American football.”
Veron is now President of Estudiantes, but spent much of his playing career in Italy with Sampdoria, Parma, Lazio and Inter.
