Juventus and Italy's icon, Gigi Buffon, is recovering from an operation to his back and can't wait to return on the pitch: "Everything is going well, I think I'll start training soon so that I can return in January. - he said to Sky Sport 24 -.

Then he spoke about the rumours on his possible transfer to Manchester United: "I don't have to decide anything, it will be the club to decide what happens. I have a contract with Juventus until 2013, it's a bit early to discuss my future. Manchester United is a great club but they have never shown a real interest."
