Manchester United has signed Bebe today. They paid 9 million dollars for him. Who exactly is he? Good question, as I dont know much about him myself.
Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, better known as Bebe is a 20 year old Portuguese striker who was playing for Vitoria de Guimaraes. Last season he was playing in the Portuguese Third Division with Estrela de Amadora, the club that produced Abel Xavier, Miguel Monteiro and Jorge Andrade.
The amazing thing about this transfer is that he has yet to play international soccer with Portugal. He has however played for Portugal in the Homeless World Cup!!
From the little that I have read about him, it seems that he is a forward with good pace and a good shot, he is good in the air, and can play either as a lone striker or as a left forward.
In the preseason with Vitoria, he scored five goals in as many games.
The future will tell us good this kid will be. Could he be the striker that Portugal needs? Time will tell us.
