Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has declared that Sir Alex Ferguson became “a second father” to him during his time in English football with Manchester United.

The Spanish international spent three years in the Premier League before Barca lured him back to the club in 2008, and the cultured stopper has not looked back since.

However, AS reports that in an interview with the English press, Pique admitted that his time with the Red Devils was difficult, and he relied on Ferguson as a mentor.
