Pedro on verge of Man Utd transfer?

Spain international Pedro is close to sealing a switch to the Premier League, following Manchester United's decision to match the player's release clause.

United boss Louis van Gaal looks set to lose star winger Angel di Maria to Paris Saint-Germain, but it seems he has set up a quick replacement for the Argentine star.

The 27-year-old has been tipped to exit the Catalan giants as he seeks for more first-team action, and The Mail claims that United have agreed to trigger the player's buy-out clause which currently stands at £22m.

Pedro scored 11 goals in all competitions for Barca last term.
