Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron expects to be sold to a Serie A side this summer.

The Argentine, who cost £28 million sterling from Lazio two years ago, has three years remaining on his Old Trafford contract but suggested he would be happier at Inter Milan or Juventus next season.

Veron is convinced he will be next to leave Old Trafford and told today's Daily Mirror: "I think I will be playing in Serie A next season. I am flattered that a few teams are looking at me. Big players are good in big teams.

"I would not have any problems playing for Hector Cuper [at Inter Milan]or Marcello Lippi [at Juventus]. I will be the right man".

He told the Daily Star: "I have a contract that binds me to United for another three years. I wouldn't have a problem in continuing my English adventure, but I think I'll be back playing in Italy".
