The controversy surrounding the transfer of ‘Bébé shows no sign of abating following
revelations in today's Daily Mail. Former Estrela coach Jorge Paxaio claims Bébé was touted
around Europe, but no one wanted him as they didn't trust him. According to Paxaio, Manchester
United could have signed the Portuguese striker for as little as £150,000 last January.
Controversial new signing Bebe was included in Manchester Uniteds squad for their Champions
League opener at Old Trafford against Rangers. It is believed United originally selected just 24,
excluding both Owen Hargreaves and Bebe, but UEFA confirmed United will take up their full
allocation of 25 with Bebe making the squad.
It was Manchester United's 2nd team defending the Carling Cup title Wednesday night against
Championship side Scunthorpe United.
