Manchester United are ready to press the accelerator in their chase for Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez once they return from their US tour later this week.

The Red Devils are actively seeking to take the Spaniard from the European champions and have been in talks with the club over a deal.




Manchester United are currently on their pre-season tour of the US and are scheduled to return to England later this week after their last game against Paris Saint-Germain this evening.

According to Catalan daily Sport, once they return to England, the Red Devils will step up on their efforts to take the Barcelona forward to Old Trafford this summer.
 


They have already claimed to have agreed personal terms with Pedro and he is expected to earn more at Manchester United than he is getting at the Nou Camp.

Manchester United have made an informal offer of €25m plus €5m in bonuses, but Barcelona are keen to bag a fee of more than €30m to sanction the 27-year-old’s sale.

With Barcelona back in Catalonia, the clubs could thrash out an agreement for the transfer of Pedro to Manchester United later this week.

Pedro has already told Luis Enrique that he wants to leave the club for more minutes on the pitch next season, ahead of next summer’s European Championship.

It has also been claimed with Angel di Maria seemingly on his way to Paris Saint-Germain, Pedro is only one of the two players that Manchester United want to sign following the Argentine’s sale.
