Man City to hijack Man Utd's Pedro move?

Manchester City are ready to battle it out with Manchester United for the services of Barcelona attacker Pedro this summer.

The Spain international has made up his mind to join a Premier League club before the transfer deadline.

United have been tipped to acquire the Spaniard's signature after they agreed to trigger his £22 release clause.

However, The Mail claims that arch rivals City are likely to match the player's buy-out clause, and are confident of luring the 27-year-old to the Etihad on a bigger wage package.

Pedro scored the winning goal for Barca as they won the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla by a 5-4 scoreline.
