Shame on United's part, both Rossi and Pique not given a chance and both moved on to top clubs, waste.
Good luck to Pique.

It's not a waste, it was bad luck. Rio and Vidic are much better than Pique, when every match is important to the title, you can't afford to break up the best CB pairing in the Premiership to give a youth player minutes. Not to mention, by most accounts, Evans is a better prospect than Pique.
Fergie thought that we needed to add Tevez in order to maintain the title this year. That put both Tevez and Rooney at the same position Rossi plays. Would you rather have Rossi over Rooney or Tevez?
The bottom line is, Fergie wanted both Pique and Rossi to stay, but neither were willing to sit on the bench and wait for their chance, so they left.
