Paul Scholes believes Juan Sebastian Veron didn't flourish at Manchester United due to their attacking similarities.
Sir Alex Ferguson famously signed Veron, then 26, from Lazio for £28.1million in July, 2001. That was the most expensive transfer in English football in history, a record that was surpassed 12 months later when United signed Rio Ferdinand from Leeds for £29.1m.
Veron was was regarded as one of the best central midfielders in Europe at the time. The Argentina international had just completed five successful seasons in Italy with Sampdoria, Parma and Lazio - winning six trophies, including the Serie A title and the UEFA Cup.
