Gerard Pique says he has too much love still for Manchester United to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Pique moved to United in 2004 from La Masia and was unable to become a regular for Alex Ferguson and returned to Barcelona in 2008.

Pique has since become one of the world's best center backs.

"My love for Manchester United is too great for me to sign for City, even though Pep is a great coach.

"I'm very happy in Barcelona. United are my second club, but my future is at Barca. I'm very proud to play at Barcelona. I think it's the best club in the world.

"I would like to try a different league when I've got a few years to go before retiring. I don't know if it will be Colombia -- I'd like that for [wife] Shakira, but nobody can predict the future."
