Official: Bebe completes Benfica move

Jul 25, 2014 20:01:00 The 24-year-old, who scored 11 league goals on loan at Pacos de Ferreira last term, failed to cement a regular place at Manchester United following his €9.3 million arrival in 2010

Manchester United flop Bebe has completed his move to Benfica in a deal worth up to €3 million [£2.3m], with United to receive 50% of any sell-on fee.

The 24-year-old joined Old Trafford in a €9.3m deal from Vitoria de Guimaraes in 2010, despite Sir Alex Ferguson admitting that he had never seen him play.

Bebe made just seven appearances for United in his debut season and was subsequently loaned out to Besiktas, although a cruciate ligament injury restricted him to featuring in only four games for the Turkish club.

Bebe was granted another loan move to Portugal at the start of last season and he finished with 11 league goals for Pacos de Ferreira. World Cup Premier League Primera División UEFA Champions League Bundesliga Ligue 1 Team P Pts view all view all
