Manchester United may finally land Eidur Gudjohnsen this summer, with Barcelona ready to offer him as part of a deal to take Gerard Pique back to the Nou Camp.
Barca have been tracking Pique, who spent the season on loan at Real Zaragoza, ever since United signed him from under their noses three years ago.
The defender, then 17, was playing for the Catalan side's youth team when United took him to Old Trafford and Barca have been trying to get him back ever since.
Now, with Sir Alex Ferguson in the hunt for a striker, Barca appear willing to offer Gudjohnsen as part of a deal according to The Manchester Evening News.
They will expect money as well but Ferguson may be tempted to go for a player he has tracked ever since his Bolton days.
The 29-year-old has a fantastic record in the Premier League and may welcome a move back to England with Barca seemingly deeming him surplus to requirements.
His opportunities were limited last season after his £8million summer move from Chelsea.

Yep.
I don't see why Man Utd should exchange a promising young man for an aging guy.

no point selling a promising player for someone who is retiring in a few years
