‘Van Gaal is DESTROYING Manchester United’

Barcelona defender Dani Alves has vowed to respect Pedro’s decision regardless of what the Spain global opts to do, and has backed him to follow his heart amidst the speculation.

Thierry Henry has tipped Pedro to be a bigger success than Angel di Maria at Manchester United, should the Barcelona forward choose to move to Old Trafford this summer.

Van Gaal went on to buy players this summer that can suit the way he wants to play – that’s why he wants Pedro.

Meanwhile, Peter Schmeichel has criticised the handling of David de Gea’s contract situation and has urged United to look to Hugo Lloris, rather than Jasper Cillessen, if they are unable to keep the Spaniard at Old Trafford. Van Gaal has coached Barcelona twice in the past. He wants his players to stick rigidly to their positions and maximise their area of the pitch.

They suggest that relations are good between the two clubs following Di Maria’s transfer and that the 30-year-old would be interested in a Premier League move.

Van Gaal sold Stoichkov to CSKA Sofia 17 years ago, but the pain of leaving the Spanish giants is clearly still raw for the Bulgarian.

City have sold Edin Dzeko to Roma and are light up front as a result which is why Pedro has entered their thinking, although a more direct replacement for the departed target man is possible. The Spanish worldwide has been a back up option at Barcelona due to the three superstars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

“That is why he is signing the likes of Pedro and Bastian Schweinsteiger”. “They will understand his requirements straight away and immediately do what is asked of them”.

“Pedro is generous in his defending, he can score goals and give plenty of assists”.
