Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson has backed the club's pursuit of Barcelona forward Pedro.
Red Devils chief executive Ed Woodward has reportedly flown out to Spain to broker a £22m deal for the player, and Robson was quick to offer his seal of approval.
"I think we definitely need another striker, because if we get injuries to Memphis [Depay] or Chicharito or [Wayne] Rooney...," he told talkSPORT.
"We're very short on strikers at the moment, so I think Pedro would be a very good signing for United."
Recent reports suggest that Chelsea are planning to hijack United's move for Pedro with a late bid of their own.
