Ahead of United's first leg Champions League playoff tie against Belgium side Bruges at Old Trafford tonight, Woodward travelled to Spain to sign the Spain international.
Woodward watched Barca's Spanish Super Cup second leg against Atletico Bilbao at the Nou Camp in the hope of concluding a deal that is understood to have slowed down because interest from Chelsea and Manchester City.
United boss Louis
Van Gaal wants to add pace, creativity and goals to his team while
Pedro - who has a £22m release clause in his contract - wants to quit
the Champions League holders because of his frustration at his lack of
game-time.
Pedro came on as a sub to score
Barca's winner in the UEFA Super Cup final against Seville last week but
was angry he wasn't in the starting line-up with Neymar ruled out by
illness.
Barca boss Luis Enrique wants to keep
the 28-year-old but admits the player's future is in his own hands,
providing a club triggers his release clause.
Pedro could finally be about to complete his move from Barcelona to Manchester United.
