Pedro has been somewhat unsettled at Barcelona and was reported to be set to leave the club. Manchester United who have recently freed up some cash and playing space following the departure of Di Maria moved in to make a deal happen with Barcelona and both sides have agreed on a valuation of the player who Van Gaal is keen to make part of his attack. Manchester Unite would pay Barcelona 26 million for Pedro’s services to Barcelona. Barcelona are however looking to keep him until he at least plays in the UEFA Super Cup before he departs for Old Trafford.
Manchester United would be hoping that Pedro is as effective for them as Fabregas and Sanchez were for Chelsea and Arsenal respectively last season.
