'I would never be under the orders of Van Gaal'
The Spain international is a transfer target for
United but Stoichkov feels he would be better off
staying with Champions League winners Barcelona.
Stoichkov barely featured under Van Gaal when the
pair worked together at the Nou Camp and he was
sold by the Dutchman in 1998, bringing an end to
his second spell with the club.
The former Bulgaria international striker was
scathing about Van Gaal when asked about him by
Spanish radio station Onda Cero .
"I would never be under the orders of Van Gaal,"
Stoichkov is reported as saying. "He's mediocre. He
destroyed Barca and is destroying Man Utd.
"With what he has done to goalkeeper [Victor]
Valdes he has shown he is a bad person. Hopefully
Pedro listens to me and doesn't leave."
Barcelona boss Luis Enrique hinted Pedro's future
would be sorted out soon when he was asked about
the transfer before the club's Super Cup final clash
with Sevilla in Tbilisi.
He said: "I would like to keep all my players
through the whole season. But we have talked
enough about Pedro. The solution will arrive soon."
