Pique: 'I'm unlikely to return to United'

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says that he is unlikely to be tempted into a return to former club Manchester United.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has reiterated that he remains happy at Camp Nou, effectively ruling out a return to Manchester United.

Pique spent four years at Old Trafford between 2004 and 2008, and United boss Jose Mourinho is likely to be eager to make changes to his backline in January after failing to land his targets during the summer.

However, Pique has suggested that he sees himself remaining at Barcelona for the rest of his career, having spent the last decade with the Catalan giants.

When asked about a potential return to the Premier League, the 31-year-old told the Daily Star: "I don't think so. I'm very happy here.

"It's my home, with my family and friends, and playing for the club I always dreamed to play, and I hope to win more titles here."

Pique made a total of 23 appearances for United in all competitions.
