Barcelona star Pedro is expected to say goodbye to the Nou Camp on Wednesday night when Roma visit for a pre-season friendly.

Spain winger Pedro is having negotiations with Manchester United about a four year contract with another 12 month extension option.

United have offered £20m and are confident of getting their man and he could even be a spectator for their opening game of the season with Tottenham on Saturday.

Louis van Gaal believes the capture of the Spanish star will add pace to his side.

He said: “Barcelona have the speed of Neymar and Messi — and they have Pedro behind them. We have to compete with that.

“We can win the title if we can buy players with speed and creativity. We have to improve our selection in that way.

“They are our competitors. Chelsea have Hazard, Willian, Oscar — that is speed and creativity.”
