Veron warns Tevez (2 Aug 2007 20:59 GMT)
Juan Sebastian Veron has warned fellow Argentine Carlos Tevez that moving to Old Trafford is a massive risk.
Veron is widely regarded as the worst transfer in Manchester United's history after he flopped dismally after arriving for a then British transfer record of £28m in 2001. He left for Chelsea two years later for almost half the price and the disappointing memory from the time at his club is clearly still fresh as he warns his international team-mate about the cost of failure at Old Trafford.
"To triumph at the club is not easy, even if you are a superstar," Veron told The Sun. "Some players leave because of the enormous and constant pressure. Carlos will find that United is not like West Ham in any aspect."
"The change will be enormous and if things do not go well he could suffer a mortal fall in fortune. If a player has good fortune from the very first day everyone is positive. But, if problems appear it is not so easy to triump," Veron continued. "The only possible goal there is success. Second place is failure and this burns deep into every player and can affect you."
Tevez's move to Manchester United is being held up by a dispute over his ownership that looks set to go to the High Court in order to be settled.
