Paul Scholes: Gerard Pique could struggle in Premier League now

It will be interesting to see if my former team-mate Gerard Pique will return to the Premier League should Barcelona decide to sell him.

He has been left out the side of late by Luis Enrique and, although he is a very talented defender, I have always thought that Spanish football, and Barcelona in particular, suits him best.

He likes being in a side that keeps possession. He is great at home but playing away at the big teams in England is a completely different prospect for a defender. His success at Barcelona and with Spain has been incredible. But I think Gerard would find it harder back in the Premier League.
