Van Gaal Offer Pedro A Starring Role In United's Attack

Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has offered Barcelona star Pedro Rodriguez a starring role alongside Wayne Rooney and Memphis Depay in a bid to convince the 28-year-old to complete a move to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.

The Daily Telegraph reports that the United boss has made it clear to Pedro that he would form part of a new-look attacking three after choosing to adopt a 4-3-3 formation for the coming season.

It has been widely reported that the Red Devils are set to make a bid for the Spanish international once Argentine winger Angel Di Maria completes his anticipated move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain.


Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has already stated that despite wanting Pedro to stay at the club he would be willing to let the Spaniard leave. It has been reported that earlier this summer the club reduced the players buyout clause from €150million to €30million after recieving a request from Pedro himself.

Manchester United have considerably strengthened their squad durign the transfer window with the signings of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin, Memphis Depay and Matteo Darmian, but the signing of Pedro could provide the club with the goal threat and pace needed to give the Red Devils a chance of challenging for the Premier League title this season.
