United signing insists he’s a winger

(05-09-2010) Manchester United new boy Bebe insists he is more a winger than a striker. The Red Devils signed the Portuguese player from Vitoria Guimaraes recently for £7m although little is known about the former ‘street child’. He recently starred for the Portugal under-21 team against England under-21’s. After the match he insisted he wanted to play on the wing for the Red Devils. "I'm a winger but the coach is the boss. I'm here to help and represent the national team,” he said. "We failed to score but I'm happy and, now I'm here, I hope to come back more often. Hearing the anthem for the national team was something that I've been waiting for a long time." Bebe is set to wear the name Tiago Dias on his shirt at United.
