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 Chelseas 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 Mourinhos side needing to beat
the Gunners to stay in the title race.
I dont know if Ill 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?
