Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is confident Manchester United will bounce back from selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

He said: "I am confident Sir Alex Ferguson will use the money to create a new project.

"United supporters can be totally secure that he will sign not just one but several important players and rebuild his team to go on winning titles and trophies."

But Pique warned Real: "Not that we're worried at Barcelona. We have a winning team. I'd rather be in our position than theirs."
