But not Pique. He was a starter for Zaragoza last year, and they finished 6th in La Liga. They'd love to have him back and so would some other Spanish clubs. Why would he want to wait around for five years before being "given a chance"?
If he doesn't start soon he'll be off. This summer, next at the latest.

We'll see. It all depends on the extent of his ambition. The opportunity to play for Manchester United doesn't come round all that often and it's a much, much more prestigious club than Zaragoza to play for, even if you're Spanish. At the end of the day, Pique knew exactly how limited his opportunities would be when he snubbed Zaragoza to come back here in the summer.
This season he's had a few games, a couple of Champion's League goals and seems to be enjoying himself. And that's in a season where Rio and Vida have been very lucky with injuries (thank feck!) I don't see why he would turn his back on this in a hurry, no matter what nationality he is. But time will tell, I guess.
