Gerard Pique has dropped a huge bomb but this time round, the Santiago Bernabeu is not the target. Instead, Old Trafford has become his new target if his recent interview with Spanish radio station Onda Cero is anything to go by. The Barca star was asked how easily it was to break into the Red Devils’ senior team. In his response, he said (As reported by Goal):
“They adapt very well, it’s not like before,
“When I was seventeen, eighteen years old and tried to make the jump to the first team at Manchester, it was much more difficult, senior players were a**holes.
“Now you make a little joke and it seems to be a crime. I remember when Gerard Deulofeu went to the first team, and he was going to sit at a dinner, I removed the chair, he fell and I got a scolding. They did it to us everyday!”
The 29-year-old spent four seasons at Old Trafford between 2004 and 2008, but Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand were mostly preferred in the starting lineup. He then moved to Spain to join Catalan giants FC Barcelona where he has so far won a hat trick of Champions League titles, six La Liga titles, four Copa del Rey titles, four Supercopa de Espana titles, three UEFA Super Cups and three FIFA Club World Cups.
