I think he'd play most the time at City as he'll fit in nicely with Silva and Aguero! I know they have Sterling but Pedro would / should start ahead of him.
Got a bad feeling about this but come on united.

Thats my fear. Mind you he wants minutes and I presume he would get more with us at Utd than at City?
City aren't going to spend £50m on Sterling and have Pedro ahead of him.
It's that likely is it? More likely he would choose the much bigger club like many players have recently, and if City have the better squad he would get more game time here.It will be very hard to see us finishing above them if they sign him ahead of us. They'll be just too far ahead as an attacking force. We need pedro right now. They don't IMO. He'd improve their attack but we need him currently just sustain some acceptable level.
Stadium nearer to the centre of town? Christ you're clutching at straws there.
If anything it sucks for City players to have to drive in and out of town every day to training.
They really aren't.
Hasn't the last few years shown you what an attractive proposition United are? If he signs for us there will be chances of winning titles here, stadium closer to centre of town why on earth would he give a shit about that? He also knows Juan Mata and David De Gea, their manager is nothing special and you should be glad he is there for another year.
If you are Pedro then right now City look like the safer bet to challenge for the title? They have a superior attack and last season were let down by a defense that I fully expect to improve.
I'm not saying its the right choice and of course to us it seems ridiculous and illogical but that's the way football is right now.

Lets be honest here if City is in for him they'll get their man. They dont dither around transfers and drag their heels like us.
Like @Rich_H_1989 says Pedro needs to look out for his career and City is a better bet.

The negativity on here regarding United, on a United forum is fecking unreal. There's no evidence to suggest City are higher up the pecking order. None whatsoever.
Location of stadium being used as a legitimate reason Pedro will choose City over us is a new laughable low.
Not only that,he would be play there in front of one of best fans in the league,home games are sold out,full stadium every home game etc.
You'd think we were talking about Real Madrid going by these posts.
We beat them to Van Persie, and Berbatov, albeit the latter was a long time ago.
I'm not sure it'll be a case of dithering from this point. Clearly from what LVG has said we are after him. If we know that city have met the buy out clause then we will have to so I think we'd act quickly on that. This comes down to choice for Pedro.
Hopefully now though things will move a bit quicker.
Whats all this crying about, lets just relax a bit and see what happens?, seems to me it's still probable that he leaves Barca for us by the end of the window.
I can see him measuring it out on Google Maps as we speak... "So, the town hall is 2.5 miles from Old Trafford, but only 2.2 miles from Wastelands. It's a no-brainer!"
Yea they got Sterling snapped right up, no messing about, whilst we pissed around for ages on Memphis, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin.
Oh wait.
So Man City have bid the actual release clause and Chelsea are also interested..... oh dear -
Manchester City have made a bid to sign Pedro from Barcelona, according to Sky Sports’ Spanish expert Guillem Balague.
Manchester United appeared to be in pole position to land the forward, according to Sky sources, but City have now made a move with champions Chelsea also monitoring the player's situation.
Balague says that United have not yet matched Barca’s £21.4m buy-out clause while City have.
Pedro does not want to leave Barca, but accepts that he may have to go if he wants regular first-team football, Balague says.
Nou Camp technical secretary Robert Fernandez said before Tuesday’s UEFA Super Cup match against Sevilla in Tbilisi that the Spain international had told him he wanted to move on.

The 28-year-old then came off the bench to score an extra-time winner for Barcelona in a 5-4 thriller against their fellow La Liga side.
Speaking afterwards, Pedro was adamant the situation was not as straightforward as him simply wanting to leave the European champions.
Asked if he wanted to go or not, the winger said: "The answer is no, but it's complicated for many things.

"It's not for money, as has been said - which is another lack of respect. It's a question of continuity, of minutes. I'm an ambitious player. Stay or go, I will always be of this team.
"Robert has made some very unfortunate declarations. I've crossed two words with him and he doesn't know what I've been through at the club to talk like that of me.
"I know who I am and I will always be of Barca. Such people shouldn't speak in this way. I've not said what Robert's said, or at least not how I said it.
"I'm calm, happy and I will always continue giving everything if I continue at this club. Manchester? Yes, there are nice challenges on all sides.
The continous stream of horseshit that spews out of Balagues mouth, he could fertilise half of southern spain's citrus fields with just one headline.
Yeah, just ask Kevin De Bruyne.
They're probably having exactly the same conversation on Blue Moon right now. People need to lose this inferiority complex regarding City, and fast. It's Manchester Feckin City we're talking about here, not Real Madrid.
How long negotiations take now really doesn't come in to it. We either match the buy out clause or we don't. If we don't its an easy decision for him. If we do then we need to convince him to come to Old Trafford.
Stop fecking wumming you unfunny turd.
i just think its poor that Utd cant even meet a £20million buyout clause........... City fly straight in with it. Surely if we want him, we value him at that?. Doesnt send a good message to pedro. Utd want you but cant even cough up the feeble £20million for you?
It's true, City do have one of the best fans in the league. I think his name is Dave. The other 30,000 they get in every week are shit though.
but to be fair, they wasted no time putting in the bids for him. Last i heard they have bid £47.5million and have not had a response. The delay is De Bruynes club not City being slow.
Holy Moses. Stadium closer to the centre of town?
They all live in Cheshire, they wouldn't give a shit.

I highly doubt any of this is the situation. Why even make up rubbish like this when it's clear United haven't been penny pinching since SAF retired?
We have recently had players leaving Real Madrid saying ''The only club to leave Madrid for is United''
We've had much sought after players coming here and always referring to us as ''The biggest club in the World''
We've even beaten Man City themselves to players - Van Persie is the most recent battle for a signature between the two clubs and he chose United.
Where the negativity comes from about our powers in the transfer market and pulling powers is just a joke. We may not be the biggest club in the World for player pulling power in the market, where we are commercially, fan base whatever...but we are still a huge player.

arent we trying to do addons and installments to make it up and they just want it all upfront or something?. Yeah who knows whats going on.
City is not among the biggest clubs in the world. City is one of the richest clubs in the world. Hope this helps.
You are becoming too good, you should stop now.
If City are in for him we should forget about this. 
It hurts but they are currently in a much better situation than what we are in right now.

True. Took them minutes to sign De Bruyne.
Yeah and then fecking off to PSG.
Could indicate they're not getting De Bruyne, which would be like heeell mutherfecking yeaahh!
If City are in for him we should forget about this.
Another WUM?
If City are in for him we should forget about this.
Yea, game over man, game over, oh well, best pack it all in now, accept our fate, sell off our assets and the stadium it's all downhill from here anyway, but we had a good run though.. didn't we lads?
Why am I a WUM, they have been doing better for the past 2 years. 28 year old players generally want instant success and not a project that is under a process. I'm just very pessimistic when it comes to transfers.
We really like to do it the hard way, don't we?
