The last sentence was the determining factor. Pique lightly nodded his head and said, "Mr. Canales, you are right. But currently, on Manchester United's side… Mr. Ferguson has very high hopes for me."
Canales shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I'll be the villain. We only have to ask him if Manchester United is willing to give you a position on the first team next season. And we all know the answer to that question. If that's the case, why is there a need for you to go to his club and become a player for the youth team, when Nottingham Forest is willing to give you a position on their first team? Did Manchester United give us any promises or guarantees? Have they paid us in advance? They have given us nothing. Remember Gerard, your future is the most important thing for us to consider. You don't want to see yourself remain unheard-of after leaving Barcelona, right?
Pique shook his head.
