I am sure we were all surprised when Pedro chose Chelsea over Man United when it looked like he was almost a Manchester United player. Apart from the fact that Manchester United were indecisive, he also spoke to goalkeeper Victor Valdes and we can all imagine what Valdes said. Read Pedro's reason after the cut
Asked if he chose Chelsea over Van Gaal's treatment towards his colleagues, he said:
"No. It's true that I don't like that treatment for my colleagues, especially for Victor, who has been a reference as a teammate and as a professional. I don't believe it's fair, but it didn't influence my decision. I just saw that Manchester didn't take that step, that they were taking too long and I needed a team to start. Chelsea were more decisive," he told Marca.
Pedro also revealed he spoke with Valdes before his transfer to England, and insisted the United outcast didn’t speak badly about his current club.
"He told me that the club (United) was very good and there was a great fan following, that his only problem was the situation with the coach. He spoke very well of the club. It's a great club but I believe I have chosen well to join Chelsea, I'm convinced. I had an important chat with Mourinho, who told me that he wanted me, that with me they would have a better team and he said many things that I liked to hear. That, combined with the possibility to live in London, was what made me decide."
