Man United Sign Bébé


Sir Alex Ferguson has made one of the biggest shocks this summer by splashing out around £7.5million on Portuguese striker Bébé. The 20-year-old joins United subject to passing a medical and will take United’s summer spending to around £25million.


Never heard of him?? Me neither till I almost got shocked when I saw on the official site site that another player was coming to United.

1. His full name is Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, otherwise known as Bébé. (Haha,very funny)

2. United signed him from Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães.

3. He was raised in an orphanage and spent most of his childhood on the streets.

4. Sir Alex met Bébé on Tuesday and immediately signed him up after talks. Well it’s not that hard to sell the club to a player is it?

5. The 20-year-old only joined Guimarães five weeks ago from Portuguese third division club, Estrala da Amadora.

7. United’s former assistant, Carlos Queiroz, recommended him to Sir Alex.

8. He is 6ft 2in tall, strong in the air and a technically-gifted striker with a powerful right foot.

9. Oh yeah, he doesn't speak English. But no worries since compatriot Nani has stepped in to help in language barriers.
