Jose Mourinho claims it took him just one minute to persuade Pedro to move to Chelsea instead of Manchester United.
The
Chelsea manager made his first official move for the former Barcelona
winger after being alerted to his availability before the Spanish
giant's Super Copa clash against Athletic Bilbao on Monday.
Mourinho,
preparing for Saturday's trip to West Brom in the Barclays Premier
League, said: 'It was a one minute conversation'
Chelsea beat
United in the race to sign the winger, but Mourinho insisted it was not
a deliberate attempt to undermine Louis van Gaal.
He added: 'I only want to beat Manchester United on the pitch - our job here is not to get a player another team wants.
'Our
job is to get players that will be good for us. It is not about whether
we won or lost, the point is that a player we like a lot is here.'
