United star to depart for Barca

Pique left Barcelona as a teenager but has since struggled to nail down a first team place at Old Trafford.
The 21-year old returned to La Liga back in 2005 when he went on-loan to Real Zaragoza where he impressed.
"Things are at an advanced stage," Barca's sporting director Txiki Bergiristain confirmed. "I can't deny that he is one of the players we're interested in, but he is involved in the Champions League final so things are on hold."
I am personally not that surprised that Pique is going to return to Spain. He clearly hasn't settled in England and I think it's best for both parties to part company.
