Former Manchester United star Sebastian Veron pledges to come out of retirement at 51
Former Manchester United and Argentina midfielder Sebastian Veron, now 51, has pledged to come out of retirement and train to play an official match for his club Estudiantes de La Plata, where he serves as president and chairman. The promise came in response to a fan's Instagram comment asking if he would play a Copa Libertadores match if the club reaches 100,000 members by 2030. Veron agreed, stating he would train to play an official match at UNO stadium. This is not his first comeback; in 2017, at age 42, he returned to play five official matches after fans bought 65% of stadium boxes. Veron has been president since October 2014 and has a deep bond with the club, having played for Estudiantes for eight years after stints at Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan.
