Gerard Pique dismisses Manchester United transfer talk: "Barcelona is my life and I do not plan to leave"
Gerard Pique has dismissed talk of a return to Manchester United by reaffirming his future to Barcelona.
The Spanish centre-back has been a mainstay in the Barcelona back-line since his 2008 move to the Catalan club from Manchester.
He had been tipped as a potential signing for the Red Devils to solve their defensive crisis, as they still linger outside of the Champions League places in the Premier League.
And after playing in just eight of Barcelona's 15 games this season and not featuring since the el clasico loss to Real Madrid, talk of a Pique move has picked up steam.

But Pique, who says he is a Barcelona supporter as well as a player, has ensured fans at the Nou Camp that he will be staying put and will not consider a move to United.
Speaking to Movistar TV, he said: "I think not to play two or three matches (and then leave) would not be consistent.
"Barcelona is my life and I do not plan to leave. I will continue to fight for a place."
Pique remained silent on his relationship with Barca boss Luis Enrique, however.
Reports have suggested that the pair are finding it difficult to work with each other, but the defender refused to say much more.
He said: "It's a player-coach relationship, he is the one who decides and players try to do what he wants from us."
