“The last year in Manchester, before going to Barça, I was about to join Juventus, it was 2007,” Pique told Il Corriere dello Sport. “I was no longer tempted once I returned home, though.”
“I was there for three years, I came in when I was 17, I was very young and at that time United had the best central defender pairings in the Premier League: Rio Ferdinand and (Nemanja) Vidic.
“We won the Champions League and Premier League, but I played just 20 or 25 games with United.”
