Pique knows the United side well having spent four years at Old Trafford up until 2008.
He moved aged just 17 but failed to make an impact on the first team and ended up moving back to Catalonia.
He has since established himself among the best defenders in the world, winning the treble in his first season back at Barca including the Champions League beating United in the final in Rome.
He now finds himself again facing his old side and knows that he will have to be at his best to contain Rooney. "He is one of the best strikers in the game and has scored a lot of goals," said Pique.
"I will have to concentrate hard to not to give him space. It was always difficult playing against him in training as it is with (Lionel) Messi now," added Pique.
