Man Utd Transfers: 10 Players Who Could Replace Angel Di Maria

9. Pedro Rodriguez (Barcelona)

Barcelona's Pedro Rodriguez has been linked with Manchester United ever since Angel Di Maria was linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain. Pedro has had huge success in Catalonia and has 21 trophies domestically including five La Liga titles and three Champions League winner medals. He also has a European Championship and a World Cup in his locker after being part of Spain's domination between 2010 and 2012. But, he isn't a direct replacement for Di Maria and will certainly have to prove himself in the Premier League. The problem with playing with players like Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o, Luis Suarez, and Neymar is that you're never in the spotlight. At Man United, Pedro will be responsible to win matches single-handedly and demonstrate the same leadership ability that Alexis Sanchez brought to Arsenal after his similar switch from Barcelona to Arsenal last year.
