Spaniard tipped to be a success at United





Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out letting Gerard Pique leave Old Trafford.



The Spanish defender has been linked with a move way from United when the transfer window reopens in January, with Atletico Madrid the latest club credited with an interest in the highly-rated stopper.


Pique spent last season on loan at Real Zaragoza and impressed a number of clubs during his time in La Liga.


The 20-year-old, who scored his first goal for United in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League victory over Dynamo Kiev, is held in high regard by Ferguson and he insists the youngster is going nowhere.



Not surprised
"I am not surprised people are saying they are interested in him," said Ferguson.


"Zaragoza tried to buy him in the summer. They offered a lot of money for him. But no. The boy's future is here.


"I have no fears for him. The course we have set is a good one and there is absolutely no intention of letting him go."


Ferguson believes Pique understands that he will have to wait for his chance at Old Trafford, but is confident the young Spaniard will make his mark at the club.


"Gerard understands perfectly well the form of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who are tremendous players, has been so good, he is going to have to wait a bit," added Ferguson.


"But waiting is not a problem for a 20-year-old. He will have many opportunities to play when I need to rest defenders and I have the great option of being able to play him in midfield or at right-back."

Defender Gerard Pique is confident his patience will eventually be rewarded at Manchester United.


The 20-year-old was loaned out to Real Zaragoza last season and could easily have joined them on a permanent basis had Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson not rebuffed a substantial bid.


Pique, also linked with Atletico Madrid just this week, enhanced his reputation with a first start - and only his second appearance - in the Champions League on Wednesday, and scored his maiden United goal in the 4-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev.


Despite growing interest in the Barcelona academy product, Ferguson has stressed he wants to hang on to the centre-back.


Pique himself is only too happy to stay at Old Trafford, looking on the loan spell in his homeland last season as just part of his learning curve.


'When I went on loan last year what I wanted was experience. It was good for me, and now I am am getting experience here - and I am happy,' said the Spain Under-21s international.


'You have to think `it is Manchester United. and they are one of the best teams in the world'.


'The players that are here have a lot of quality, and it is very difficult to break through. You have to be patient.


'I want to play more games, but the boss decides.'


Ferguson has invested a lot of time in Pique since he arrived at Old Trafford as a teenager - and he is not prepared to let all that good work go to waste.


'I am not surprised people are saying they are interested in him,' said the United manager.


'Zaragoza tried to buy him in the summer. They offered a lot of money for him. But no. The boy's future is here.


'I have no fears for him. The course we have set is a good one, and there is absolutely no intention of letting him go.'


Pique was relatively untroubled alongside Nemanja Vidic in a back four which also contained fellow 20-year-old Danny Simpson, also making his first Champions League start, and the established Patrice Evra.


Playing with those experienced internationals undoubtedly helped the rookies settle in.


'They are great players, and when you play with them they give you the confidence to play your game,' said Pique.


'You know if you make a mistake you have them around you.


'It was a great feeling to score a goal in the first (Champions League) game you start and you help the team to win the game.


'We are now already qualified, and that is great for us. The last two games we can enjoy it - and try to be the first in the group.'
