Barcelona defender Pique tribute to Man Utd boss Ferguson

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has paid tribute to his former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Pique spent four seasons at United, having been snapped up from Barcelona as a 17-year-old and made 20 appearances for the club.

"I have never seen anything like this in Spain," he said. "It is unbelievable.

"I was with him for a few years and know why he is there.

"He is a great coach but he also treats the players really well. It is not only in terms of football. No matter what it is, he will be there for you.

"He has won so many titles and so many important things.

"All the Manchester United fans are really happy that he has stayed because they never won as much as they do now.

"Most of the is because of him and I hope he stays for many years yet."
