Former Arsenal player and now Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry has stated that he believes Pedro would be a better fit at Manchester United than Angel Di Maria, per the Daily Mail.
According to the report, Pedro has been linked as a potential replacement for the recently departed Angel Di Maria who moved to Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday following long drawn-out negotiations between the two clubs.


Henry was present at the Nou Camp during Pedro’s breakout season at the club back in the 2009-10 season and believes that the Spanish winger has the attributes to succeed where Di Maria didn’t.
"Manchester United will be getting an excellent player if they can complete the signing of Pedro," said Henry.
"He was the perfect team-mate for me at Barcelona because his understanding of wing play was second to none.
"Louis van Gaal’s teams play in a structured way. He wants his players to stick rigidly to their positions and maximise their area of the pitch.
"Angel Di Maria’s game was based on running free from the right or the left. He didn’t fit into Van Gaal’s set-up and that’s why they have sold him.’
Pedro has found chances in the first team at Barcelona hard to come by, and with the quality of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar ahead of him in the pecking order, it is understandable as to why.
He made 35 appearances for Barcelona last season, but only completed eight of them for the full 90 minutes. The most common way in which he appeared for the Catalan club was off the bench, something he did 20 times last season.
Meanwhile, Man United’s next game sees them travel to Birmingham to face Aston Villa on Friday evening.
