Former Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron is all set to come out of his retirement at the age of 41 as he was seen practicing with his former club Estudiantes. Earlier, he promised the fans to play in 2017 Copa Liberadores if they bought 65 % of boxes at the club's new stadium.

Former Argentina midfielder Vernon returned to his country in 2013 and rejoined his boyhood club, before calling time on his career in the year 2014. He is now the president of La Plata side. 

Vernon is undergoing a personalised programme under the guidance of Estudiantes-boss and former Arsenal defender Nelson Vivas. After watching him training, his former teammate Julian Marchioni was impressed by the Vernon’s training. 

"Veron is the same as always, he didn't misplace a pass," he said. "It's something incredible."

If Vernon will go on to play for sometime, he will also take part in the Premier League and will also undergo stints at Sampdoria, Parma, Inter, and Lazio.
