Former Chelsea flop Juan Sebastian Veron has revealed he regrets signing for the club from Man Utd.

He told FourFourTwo: “I felt that going to Chelsea could have been a good chance for me to get a longer sequence of matches, but I shouldn’t have gone there.

“I don’t say that because of Chelsea, though. It’s nice to have a club wanting to sign you, excited that you can do something for them. To make an investment like that, the club has to believe in you and trust you.

“I actually found it tougher to live in London than Manchester because I’m from La Plata, which is quite a small city.

“I wish I could have stayed at United longer, as I believe I could have done things differently.

“If I’d stayed in Manchester, I think I would have had more continuity on the pitch.”
