Manchester United flop Bebe scores wonder goal in Portugal

That video which you see above really is Bebe of Manchester United fame scoring what would be popularly known as a, erm, “worldly”.

The former Portuguese U21 international shows great sleight of foot to guide a bouncing ball in his stride with an impudent flick of his right heel, before steadying himself and lifting a dipping volley into the far corner from just inside the box.

Bebe, signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Vitoria de Guimaraes for £7.4 million in 2010, was so bad that he became something of a cult-figure in Manchester for being arguably the worst signing of the legendary manager's career.

He has since been ferried out on loan more or less constantly and this season is lining upcall him anything he likes if he can reproduce that form at United. Expect the Portuguese star to be recalled in the summer for a spot of pre-season football - and if he carries on like this, he could soon be lining up in the Premier League.
