Barcelona president Jose Maria Bartomeu has cast doubt on Manchester United's chances of signing Pedro.

The 28-year-old forward, who scored against United in the 2011 Champions League final, is keen to join The Reds after falling down the pecking order at Camp Nou.

United have not offered a formal bid for the Spain international, mainly because they are yet to finalise Angel di Maria's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Bartomeu indicated Barcelona have concluded their transfer business for the summer.

"The team is what it is," Bartomeu told ESPN Deportes. "It has been put together. We have the team that our coach wanted -- it's done and completed.

"We don't foresee any departures from the team. I've read many things about a Pedro departure, but no one has officially addressed our club. Our squad is complete."

Pedro has a £22m buyout clause and United are still believed to be confident of signing the player before the transfer window closes four weeks on Tuesday.

It was reported Barcelona are unwilling to sell Pedro before their all-Spanish Super Cup clash with Sevilla on August 11, which would rule him out of contention to make his United bow against Tottenham next week.

United goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek indicated it would be 'difficult' to sign Pedro after he played in Barcelona's 3-1 defeat to United in San Francisco.

Fifa banned Barcelona from signing players who can play straight away this year but that did not deter the Champions League winners from concluding deals for Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan.
