According to reports from The Telegraph yesterday evening, Barcelona winger Pedro has informed close friends that he’s on the verge of completing a move to Manchester United.
The 27 year-old has claimed every accolade going during his spells with the Catalans and the Spanish national team – winning five La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship – but is expected to leave the Nou Camp this summer after slumping behind Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in the pecking order.

The 51-cap international signed a new contract in June that included a £22million release clause and he’s since been linked with Premier League foursome Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Manchester United are believed to be the front-runners in the race to sign the 5 foot 6 attacker, with Liverpool reportedly hoping to hijack any deal, despite Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insisting the club are yet to receive any formal bids.
And according to The Telegraph, Pedro has now informed close friends that he’s set to join the ranks at Old Trafford. However, Louis van Gaal is unwilling to sanction a deal until Angel Di Maria’s expected move to PSG is completed.
pedro is a nice guy who should replace di maria.
