‘Fairytale’ for Bebe

ALEX Ferguson has described Bebe’s €8.55m (£7m) move to Manchester United as a fairytale for the 20-year-old.

In Portugal as a character witness for under-fire national team boss Carlos Queiroz, Ferguson tied up a deal for Bebe, who had spent just five weeks with Vitoria Guimaraes. Bebe played football in a homeless team before his potential was spotted.

“It is a fairytale when you read about his background,” said Ferguson.
