If latest reports are to be believed then Pedro could well be joining Manchester United before long.
He’s a technically gifted player who operates on the basis of wonderful ball control and football intelligence.
He’s no slouch but doesn’t have the bewitching pace of a Di Maria or Depay.
We would love to see the Argentinian stay at Manchester United and there remains a hope that he will stay for another season.
But it seems more likely that Pedro will come in as a replacement.
One of his great virtues is that he can play anywhere across a front three or even in the hole of a 4-2-3-1.
We saw Memphis make his debut in the hole for Manchester United in The US and he may well occupy a central position more as his career progresses.
But it’s more likely that he will be used down the wings in his formative career, where he can outstrip full backs for pace and attack the spaces behind them.
So we think that, with Di Maria gone, Manchester United could play with Pedro and Depay either side of Rooney in a 4-3-3.
If Di Maria does stay then perhaps a 4-2-3-1 would best suit, with any of Rooney’s supporting cast able to fill in in the number 10 role.
Manchester United fans: let’s have your Pedro fuelled XIs
