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.

    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.
