Bebe wants to become United’s new idol

(18-08-2010) New Manchester United signing Bebe wants to emulate the feats of compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford. The 20-year-old, who spent much of his childhood in an orphanage and living on the streets, was recommended to United by the club’s former assistant coach Carlos Queiroz. "To come to a team like Manchester United is a dream come true for any player," said Bebe on Tuesday. "The Portuguese factor at Old Trafford was a motivation for me. You have very big names like Cristiano Ronaldo who has played here and is a very big player now. Nani and Anderson are still at the club. I want to become like them and I will work hard to become a top quality player." The Red Devils paid Vitoria Guimaraes £7m for Bebe. He was also being tracked by Real Madrid.
