Pique set for OT return
United defender Gerard Pique, who has excelled during a loan spell with Real Zaragaoza this season, will be back at Old Trafford next term.
The 20-year-old Catalan centre-half has enjoyed a year-long loan spell in La Liga but, despite interest in a permanent move from the Spanish club, Sir Alex Ferguson plans to bring the highly-rated former Barcelona defender back to Manchester.
The Reds boss will travel to Spain to see Zaragoza take on Racing Santander at La Romareda stadium before meeting with Pique to discuss his plans for next season.
It means Sir Alex is unlikely to be watching ChelseaÂ’s match against Arsenal on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium. Should United win against Manchester City on Saturday, the Reds will be eight points clear and would leave Jose MourinhoÂ’s side needing to beat the Gunners to stay in the title race.
“I don’t know if I’ll be watching the game,” said the boss. “I will probably be in Zaragoza on Sunday.
“I promised I would go and see [Gerard] Pique play. We are bringing him back next season so I want to sit down and have a chat with him.”
hmm, will he be any help to the current back 4? -
certainly. eg when rio and vidic are out and man utd defence in shambles.... he should be better than JOS
-
yes bring him back.
-
he wont be able to break up the partnership of rio and vidic.
wonder if he wants to play in the reserves or be a bench warmer -
bring him back.. vidic quite injury prone.
-
can rotate him to spice up the rotation policy.
look at how Gunners are going about it, they have excellent prospects in the MF, and Def.
