[Sports] - Man United Agree Pedro Deal + Reactions From Twitter....

Manchester United agree fee with FC Barcelona for winger Pedro, with a starting role assured if he completes his switch to Old Trafford..

Manchester United and Barcelona have reached agreement over the transfer of Pedro, but the Champions League holders are keen to retain the player until after next week's Uefa Super Cup.

The two sides have settled on a transfer fee of £18.1 million (€26m) initially, with a potential further £4.2m (€6m) to be paid in variable bonuses.

But the European champions face Europa League winners Sevilla in the traditional season curtain-raiser in Tbilisi on Tuesday, and want to be able to call upon Pedro to play a part.

Those that have been his fans for the past six seasons are sure to want to bid their farewells to the man from the Canary Islands, who is quietly waiting to see the outcome of the negotiations between Barcelona and Manchester United regarding his move to the Premier League.

Lionel Messi and Neymar have only recently returned from an extended break following their Copa America commitments, and neither is likely to play a full 90 minutes in the Super Cup clash.

As a result Pedro is likely to play a significant role before finalising a move to Old Trafford, meaning United will begin the Premier League season against Tottenham on Saturday without the 28-year-old in the squad.

A large portion of Manchester United's fanbase also appears enthused by the Spaniard's arrival:

Pedro is a low key legend. Like not an 'IN YOUR FACE' legend but low key. Like he's a subtle legend. He's a 'quiet as a mouse' legend.

Naturally, many took Pedro's potential signing as an opportunity to throw shade on his outgoing counterpart:

Di Maria is an actual prick, I hope his career is plagued by injuries

Di Maria is a spineless, gutless bottle job. Pedro might not be a better player but he will put more effort in. That's what we need.
