Bébé is set to play his first game for united since moving there over the summer. Granted it is only in the reserves, but will be very interesting to see how he goes. Since moving to united he has made 2 appearances for the Portugal u21 side and reports have been mixed.
For those who have got no idea who I am talking about that's not so surprising. Here is a little info on Bébé. He is a 20 year old forward from Portugal. At the start of the year he was playing in the Portuguese third division, but during the summer transfer period he signed on with the first division club Guimaraes on a free transfer. After only being there for 5 weeks, where he scored 5 goals in 4 friendlies Man Utd came in and payed £7.5 million for him, without Sir Alex even seeing him play.
He was an orphan and has represented Portugal at the homeless world cup and the fifa street world championship. He is a complete nobody who United have taken a massive risk on, so I will be watching his future quite carefully. For those who know who I am talking about, what do you think of him?
great story and i hope he gets a good run, could be a good prospect in a few years
Wow that is a very good story, PR's dream.
If he did well I could see him being a real sign of hope for under privileged kids.
Will be interesting to hear how he goes ;)
Agree, it is a great story. Nice signing fee for Guimaraes.
Keep us informed of his progress CF.
From the reports I read Bébé had a pretty good game, even though they lost. He was playing on the right side of a front three and was swapping sides with Obertan who was on the left. He was constantly swarmed by the villa defenders but was still very impressive.
A good start for the homeless man, lets hope it continues
Man u must see something big in him
I wish all the best to this guy.
same Q..it would b amazin if this guy turned out to be a legend for man u and portuagal

Well SAF had never seen him play before signing him. The first time he has done that in his career as a manager. He just went on the word of his scout in Portugal and the recommendation from Carlos Queiroz. Apparently the other big clubs such as Real Madrid and Chelsea were interested so SAF signed him before others could
I would rather play for Chelsea, but I barrack for them :P
SAF, must say I don't care for him, but he is good, he is real good.
But alex what players have chelsea trained up to be good players for them except for maybe mikel? United have a history of developing players and improving them
Mikel signed for Man Utd before vetoing it to go to Chelsea.
Chelsea have 0 players from the academy currently in their first 11.
Yeah that mikel thing was the most retarded transfer. Announces that he will be going to united, a week later says he was pressured in to signing for them and wants to move to chelsea. After a huge investigation goes to chelsea, whilst chelsea had to pay his club £4million and pay united £12million for a player they never had. Good business for united ;D

That is pathetic.
Suppose it is what you get when the bloke that owns Chelsea is a billionaire 11 times over, Roman Abramovich!
Well at least they have some english blokes in their team. I remember a few seasons ago there was a match between chelsea and arsenal and there wasn't a single english player on the pitch or bench!!!
Arsenal have only a handful as well. Less then 5. Liverpool have 2. While United have a lot more then both of them. Rather not count them.
he is startin on the bench for man u 2nite in a weird second string team with no evra or berba
Wouldn't say it is a second string team hawka. Still very very stron. 3 nil victory on the way with ferdinand back in defense :)
no evra no berba no rooney(apolgies if they r injured)..a few youngsters in you should stil win tho ;)
Rooney is injured. Other 2 just getting a rest. But anderson is definitely part of the first XI when fit and rafael will become the main RB this season
hmm but y is berba rested wen there is a internatinal break nxt week and he no longer plays internatinals i dont think
Think Anderson is still on the fringes. Will still see game time with the aging Scholes and Giggs.
I hope Sunderland Smash them with Henderson leading the way :P.
yeah i have no clue hawka. its the same with evra since he is banned from playing for france.
who knows what is going on in SAF's head?
mayb he justs wants a youthful side once a month or so
Yeah perhaps. Although I wouldn't say VDS, Ferdinand, Scholes, or Owen are young haha.
Should still win though
Never!!! Sunderland for the win!!!
Lol CF ;D.
if sunderland did win that would make SAF feel pree bad
Game is finally underway!! ;D
haha finally
I swear Sunderland is the place for Man Utd's rejects. In their squad they have Bardsely, Richardson, Campbell and Welbeck!!
