Pedro was interviewed recently and revealed that he almost joined Manchester United back then.
Pedro told "442" magazine: "I talked a lot with Luis Enrique that season, it was Barcelona with MSN, and it was not easy to get playing time. The coach was honest, he told me that I would not get many playing opportunities, and considering my ambitions, the best option for my benefit was to leave."
"Barcelona means everything to me, I would have liked to be there. To end my career, but there are moments in life that you have to face bravely, I decided to join another project that also excites me. As time goes by, I do not regret those experiences abroad."
Talking about almost joining Manchester United, Pedro said: "I don't know what happened behind the scenes. The deal with Manchester United was almost completed, but they decided too slowly. The season is about to start. I don't want to wait any longer. I He even played in the European Super Cup with Barcelona and scored the winning goal in that game. "
"There was a lot of uncertainty and anxiety, Paris Saint-Germain was also interested in me, and then Chelsea's interest came. Fabregas acted as an intermediary and Mourinho called me and said they were willing to offer better terms, so we contacted Manchester United to explain the situation, but they didn't make a clear decision, so I chose to go to Chelsea. "
Talking about the difference between Guardiola and Mourinho, Pedro said: "Both are winners, but their styles are very different. They each have their own ideas and their own ways of persuading and motivating players. I enjoyed learning from Mourinho and he gave me the opportunity to experience the Premier League, which is the most competitive league and it was fun to adapt to it. Still, that debut season was tough. "
