I'm being fed reports this evening that United are seriously interested in signing Christian Benteke from Villa. I think this is a bad move for several reasons.... He would mostly be used as a target man which means long balls aimed up towards him for large periods of games. This is not the United way! Also he's nowhere near worth 32.5 million and it's one thing looking good at Villa (who are a much smaller club), there's no guarantee he would work at United. Just look at someone like Manucho as an example of that.
Having reviewed potential transfer targets fairly there is only one man United should aim to sign up top this summer and his name is Pedro Eliezer RodrÃguez Ledesma aka Pedro. Pedro would bring pace, versatility and above all class to United or ANY team in England. I know for a fact that seeing Pedro in a United kit next season would get me very excited and he's also more cost effective than Benteke too.
Don't get me wrong, Benteke is a decent enough player but Pedro is the real deal! He has that big club mentality that you cannot put a price tag on; he's a winner and would also help United in terms of marketability in Spain if De Gea leaves. It makes much more sense for United to sign Pedro not Benteke.
Benteke Not The Answer!

Disagree with Op. Yes he is. Pedroimo will struggle in the Epl but suits la liga
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard to say. Other imports from LA liga have succeeded, Mata, silva for a start.
He has more than enough craft, skill and pace to put most epl attackers in the shade, but sometimes the difference in style (not qualify, as that's just bûllshît) is too much.

Pedro should be signed ahead of Benteke anyone can see that

Pedro is good, but I wouldn't say he's right up there. Having said that, I haven't watched him 20 games consecutive to make a full judgement.
Maybe OP gone slightly overboard, maybe.

What a bunch of jokers. Benteke is a class striker who will bag goals for us. I don't know why people are bashing this guy, if you actually think LVG is buying players to play hoofball then you are absolute bonkers.

You should do a video, it might help get your point across.

Pedro was a revelation in his first season at Barca he replaced an in prime Samuel Eto'o with EASE. He has to be signed!

I think as an all round attacking threat Pedro has more about him than RVP. In terms of
Pace
Flair
Versatility
Positioning

How on earth can you compare Benteke to Manucho?
Benteke has scored roughly 1 in 2 for Villa, one of the most wretched attacking clubs in the country, and has more goals since coming to England than Rooney.
Manucho...well I don't even need to spell it out.

I just mean certain players look good for smaller teams. James Beattie for example. Pedro is truly authentic as a footballer and really should be snapped up.
