The 21-year-old Rossi failed to impose
himself at Old Trafford in the three seasons he was at the club and was
transferred to Villarreal in the summer on a five-year contract.
Sir Alex Ferguson was a reluctant seller of a player he rates so highly and inserted a buy-back option in the deal.
Pires is not surprised by this and expects the talented striker to return to Old Trafford in the future.
When
asked about his thoughts on Manchester Uniteds option in Rossi's
contract, Pires told setantasports.com: "I expected it because I know
their mentality and they want to keep the good players.
"They can't fail to miss such a good player so I have no doubts he will return there.
"He is a very good young striker who already has a great mentality. He is a goalscorer, you can see it every day at training.
°He
is obsessed by scoring. He is tomorrows great attacker and I enjoy
playing with him because I don¢¥t know if he is going to stay at
Villarreal.
The Arsenal legend was then asked why Rossi did not impose himself at Old Trafford.
"It is Manchester United, competition is tough there," he said. "They don`t offer you gifts.
°I think he has learnt a lot up there. He has experienced what the top level is.
"Today
he is taking advantage of it and we are very happy to have him here. He
scores goals; hopefully he will continue until the end of the season."
Ya lor.. i hope he comes back... but i wonder if SAF will pay or not coz i dont think he'll come back cheap...
