Manchester United reserves were beaten emphatically by Aston Villa reserves on Thursday night while United new boy Bebe made his debut finishing out the full 90. Bebe stole most of the headlines due to his high profile summer transfer and has been rumored as cover for the now injured Antonio Valencia.

Manchester United reserves were beaten emphatically by Aston Villa reserves on Thursday night while United new boy Bebe made his debut finishing out the full 90. Bebe stole most of the headlines due to his high profile summer transfer and has been rumored as cover for the now injured Antonio Valencia.

Tor-Kristian Karlsen has given his frank opinion of Bebe during his match for Portugal's U-21 against England's U-21, where, it has to be said, Tom Cleverley was one of England's best players.

Karlsen is a top Norwegian football consultant where transfers and scouting are concerned, particularly focussed on Dutch football.

Today, there are an estimated 1 billion homeless people worldwide. Homeless is not merely a problem in Third World countries, but is global, affecting even in developed nations. The Homeless World Cup has a vision to beat homelessness through football, aiming to provide a most basic need a home.

Despite what you may have heard, Manchester United's Bebé was included on Manchester United's 25-man Champions League's squad. Originally, it was reported by several media outlets that Bebe was left off the list; however, Manchester United have confirmed that Bebe was infact included and the omission was the result of an administration error by UEFA.

Rumour had it that Sir Alex Ferguson had told Bebe to put a stop to the hair do he sported when signing for United. We dismissed that on RoM. Fergie was a lot more strict in the past with such things, which once prompted a rumour that Nani had been told to stop his extravagant goal celebration after opening his account for us in the pre-season and following it up with a flip.

The much vaunted, new 25 player squad rule which came into being at 5pm on Tuesday has been little more than a fizzer as far as Manchester United were concerned. As the club reported on its official...

Our new signing, Bebe, is currently with the Portugal U-21 squad and has impressed in training.

Jorge Paxaio, Bebe's coach at former club Estrela, has spoken very fondly of our new player, although is wary of what effect his rags to riches background may have.

‘Manchester United are getting a truly remarkable kid," he said.

"Bebe, now that I've found you, I won't let you go"

After a couple of days of umming and ahhing, Manchester United have confirmed that they have included Bebe, the Brazilian forward that was sleeping in a bin bag on the streets of Lisbon just two years ago, in their 25-man squad for this season's Champions League.

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.

Manchester United new signing, Bebe, was initially left out of our Champions League squad, despite us only naming 24 players out of a possible 25.

The boss changed his mind though and included Bebe, much to our young player's surprise.

"I'm surprised by my inclusion in the Champions League squad," he said.

Raul Meireless to Liverpool, Rafel van der Vaart to Spurs, Asamoah Gyan to Sunderland, Kenwyne Jones to Stoke City, and Bebe to Manchester United. What do all of these transfer have in common, all of them were for around the same amount of money, approximately 7 million pounds. What is the difference between them: None of them have had the amount of ink written about them then Bebe's move to Manchester United.

I don't get to see the reserves live as often as I would like, but as they were playing Man Utd Reserves tonight, I was able to catch the first 80 minutes of the game bossed by Gordon Cowans before the stream died on me. A very good performance it was too, lead from the front by Barry Bannan, who was near faultless throughout.

Another article on The Guardian suggests Bebe's agent is under scrutiny after new questions have been asked of his transfer.

Manchester United progressed to the next round of the Carling Cup with a 5-2 victory against Scunthorpe tonight, but it wasn't plain sailing as the hosts put up a hell of a fight.

Scunthorpe took a deserved lead in the first half with a beautiful strike from Josh Wright. Darron Gibson levelled shortly after with a delicious lob after getting on the end of a long ball from Chris Smalling.

Sir Alex Ferguson will hand a debut to Portuguese winger Bébé in the Carling Cup tomorrow night, after spending the last month fending off criticism of the player from all quarters of the media.

The criticism centred around the fact that Sir Alex had signed Bébé without seeing him play, and came from journalists who ironically labelled the player a "flop", also without seeing him play.

Manchester United returned to winning ways away from home against Scunthorpe United on Wednesday evening. Manchester United have been in relatively good form at Old Trafford this season, winning three of their four matches defeating Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham United in the English Premiership but drawing with Rangers in the Champions League however their form away from the theatre of dreams has been quite disappointing.

The streaker who invaded the pitch at Glanford Park yesterday during Scunthorpe's Carling Cup clash against Manchester United has told our Irreverent Reporter (IR)© that his virtuoso performance was indeed prompted by finally seeing Bebe in a competitive game for United.

Manchester United ran out convincing 5-2 winners against lower league Scunthorpe on Wednesday, and while Sir Alex Ferguson didn't attend the match he'll have a lot to be pleased about. Defender Chris Smalling was majestic at the back, and he was full of praise for debutant Bebe, the Portuguese unknown who signed for the Red Devils over the summer.

The Daily Mail, turn away now.
