Ex-Manchester United flop Juan Sebastian Veron sensationally comes out of retirement at 41 years old to join amateur Argentine club Estrella de Berisso

JUAN SEBASTIAN VERON has come out of retirement to sign for amateur Argentinian team Estrella de Berisso – at 41 years old.

The ex-Manchester United flop hung up his boots in 2014 after six seasons in the top flight with Estudiantes – and one with novice side Brandsen.

But the 73-cap Argentine has laced them back up to join Buenos Aires-based club Estrella de Berisso.

Estrella tweeted: “Witch [referencing his ‘Little Witch’ nickname] loose in Berisso! JSV plays for Estrella this season!”

Veron’s dad, Juan Ramon, explained his son was looking to play at a competitive level again.

He said: “He was playing with a group of friends my age in Spanish Prado estate of Villa Elisa, but wanted to find a competitive level, and the league is good.”

United smashed the British transfer record to sign the midfielder for £28.1million from Lazio in 2001.

But Veron never lived up to his price tag at Old Trafford and was sold to Chelsea for £15m after just two seasons.

But he fared even worse at the Blues – spending just one season at Stamford Bridge and being cast out on loan for the remainder of his contract – before he returned to his native Argentina in 2007.
