| Man Utd are desperate to sign Pedro |
PEDRO has been asked by Barcelona to play against Sevilla on Tuesday, before being allowed to join Manchester United.
The Spain international seems set to make a £22m move to Old Trafford after weeks of speculation.
United chief executive was reported to have flown to the Spanish city during the week to finalise negotiations for the 28-year-old.
And Spanish newspaper Sport say Pedro will play in the UEFA Super Cup game on Tuesday then the "Tenerife-born forward will wear the famous red shirt".
The report adds United already have an agreement with Pedro and neither club are in a hurry to complete the deal.
Pedro team-mate Javier Mascherano admitted he wished the winger wasn't joining United.
He said: "Well, I wish he would stay but this is just a personal opinion.
"But if he leaves, Barcelona have lost a player that has been very important in recent years, a good professional, a good kid, a professional who is always keen on giving his best, both on the pitch and outside.
"Obviously when someone like him leaves the club it is something we feel because it is not easy to find players with his humility and eagerness to improve after having won so much.
"I have a good relationship with him and I wish he would stay."
