Manchester United defender Gerard Pique is close to sealing a return to his former club, Barcelona.

The 21-year-old Spaniard left the Camp Nou in the summer of 2004 to move to Old Trafford, but is now set to head back to Barca after making just 23 appearances for the Red Devils.

Pique told the Spanish media: "Negotiations with Barca are at a very advanced stage.

"I like the idea of being able to play in a Barcelona shirt again.

"At the moment there's nothing official. Now we just have to wait for more details.

"At the moment a decision has to be made by other people."
