Well after all the furore caused by his signing and non appearances, Bebe finally made his first appearance in a United shirt and to be totally frank, we appear to have something to work with.
The result will surely be the thing that grabs most people’s attention as United went down 4-1 to Aston Villa inspired by Barry Bannan but looking solely at Bebe’s performance he surely didn’t ‘flop’ as the Daily Fail will have you believe.
With Nani there to give his country man support Bebe looked good out wide, he delivered a ball into the box but the resulting shot from Ravel Morrison was blocked by a defender thus giving United a corner. This would be a recurring theme for the night as Bebe continued to puts some decent balls into the box yet to no end product.
He got more and more into the game as it progressed and showed some quick feet in beating his man as well as good pace and acceleration. Villa seemed intent on stopping him getting any joy though and at times doubled up on him as well as resorting to cynical fouls.
One thing that is noticeable is that Bebe is very much a winger rather than a wide forward player. He seems to have good crossing and likes to get the ball into the box early which is a bonus. I very much look forward to seeing how he develops considering this performance against a very decent Aston Villa side.

Can’t stand the daily fail..They somehow want this kid to flop so that they can go on to picturise SAF as some kind of an idiot for buying him without checking him out first..This is all the more reason why i want bebe to really shine for us and looking at his debut i think we have another gem on our cards..

Read the DM artcile, and it’s amazing to think how difficult it ought to be to become a paid journalist, and yet the industry is predominated by idiots who are clearly biased and write at a 3rd grade reading level.
Bebe’s just gonna have to do his thing, and his lack of English at this point may serve him well. Some supporters may be overly optimistic and think he’ll have a Cantona-like immediate impact, while detractors were ready to write off his entire career before they ever saw him touch a ball. At this stage, we should simply be patient and expect a positive long-term trajectory.
How did Obertan do? (he is one whom we should have slightly higher expectations)

Obertan looked good, has bulked up and was one of our better players today. Linked well with De Laet on the left may get a look in on Sunday (hopefully)

Saw the game and nomatter what “newspaper” Daily Mail thinks, Bebe did not “flop” and infact did just the opposite as he have’s great crossing ability and easily haves the skill to run wth the ball and take player’s on. It is early days yet but Bebe is clearly a diamond in the rough and will be a big success at United. TRUTHHURTS, try telling some truth idiot as our squad is still the best and futue is a good one unlike your small club’s future. Sir Alex Ferguson will again lead us to OUR Premier Lge.

Here are some highlights of his performance. Granted, I didn’t see the game, but this at least shows some of the quality he has. As Chudi mentioned, he looks comfortable far wide, which no one expected. He also looks very strong physically and he can be sure those crosses would be met by a striker with the first team.
I’m looking forward to seeing him (hopefully) in the upcoming Carling Cup match.

Great news about Bebe considering all the negatives that have been written about his footballing ability in recent times. Hopefully, he will only get better and better, and the same Daily Mail who has so far written him off as a footballer will be the same news daily to request him for an interview, hope then Bebe will do to them what SAF has successfully done for BBC. I am sure Bebe will come of age and SAf will definitely help him do that.

He like a combination of nani and valencia..More like valencia with some additional tricks up his sleeve and also a pretty good crosser of the ball..Also he’s built like a tank and thus holds his own in physical battles..Overall a good debut..

Great highlights Jonathan, thanks, i’m very impressed with this young winger. He looked strong, had great pace and was taking on opposition players very impressively. He has some CR7 attributes. His crosses were great too. I sincerely don’t know what Daily mail journalists were up to with their very discouraging articles. I am sure SAF wont let them to have their way, Bebe’s certainly our new gem

Another OVER PAID signing again for Manchester United!!!…
Since the signing of C.Ronaldo (which Ronaldo was signed because he played terrificallly well against us in the friendly match and our players told SAF to sign him), is there any other signing that proved to be great signing???
We over-paid by the signing of Anderson, Tosic, Berbatov (30 million??), Chicharito, Bebe, etc…. I think comparing to our opponents like Chelsea, Arsenal, or even Tottenham, their scouts are doing much better performance than us.
CORRUPTION??? You all have a doubt, and some already believe that..

Have you noticed that the Mail keeps writing articles on Bebe but not on any other reserve player. It’s not a coincidence. The Mail journalist, Ian Ladyman I think it was, wrote an article saying Bebe was crap when he didn’t get picked for the reserves recently. SAF we mad and banned either the journalist or the Mail in general from his press conferences. This I can see is the backlash. They are acting like kids by repeatedly writing pessimistic reports about Bebe now. I made this same comment on the Mail article on the web (twice) but they haven’t printed it.

Gazzaro, why do you willfully omit players who are considered a success? How about Nani, Valencia, the Da Silva’s among others?
Anderson is still too young to be judged a success or failure. Tosic is controversial, but at the very least we sold him for what we paid. Chicharito is considered terrific value, even by Scrooge/Wenger standards and the Bebe thing is getting tired.
Your Berbatov comment is looking a bit dated considering he’s among the hottest players in the league right now; and even if he didn’t work out all big clubs are subject to a bust every now and then.
I’m curious as to why you feel the other teams are doing a better job considering that only one of them (Chelsea) did better last season and was in large part to sticking with players they purchased several years earlier. By that standard, you can include any player United brought in the last few years, and then can include our impressive silverware collection within that time.
Ugh, why even waste my time, you probably aren’t even interested in looking at reality.

Gazzaro is a clueless idiot, simple really. Berba, Ando, Chicharito, where not over paid and mr clueless take note, our scouting system is one of the if not the best in the world (Chelsea dont even have a scout system, Arsenal’s are crap and Spurs are a failure). Chicharito is a superstar already and Bebe is a diamond in the rough, Sir Alex get’s it right AGAIN. Gazzaro is as clueless as they come.
