Description:
Tiago Manuel Dias Correia (born 12 July 1990), better known by his nickname Bébé, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Manchester United. He can play on either flank, as a target man or as a support striker.Early lifeBébé is the son of Cape Verdean immigrants and is now the third player of Cape Verdean descent to join Manchester United; the others are Portuguese international winger Nani and former Swedish international Henrik Larsson. He was given his nickname, which means baby in Portuguese, by his older brother.Bébé was abandoned as a young child by his father, Francisco, and his mother, Deolinda. He was consequently raised by his grandmother in a rough suburb of Lisbon, until the age of 12, when a court placed him in the care of the church.He moved to the Casa do Gaiato shelter in Santo Antao do Tojal, 20 km outside Lisbon.[5] During his time there, he and seven other residents of the shelter were invited to play for the CAIS team in the 2009 European Street Football Festival in the Bosnian town of Foča.Despite Bébé scoring 40 goals in six matches, CAIS did not progress beyond the second group stage of the tournament.It was alleged that Bébé had participated in the Homeless World Cup, but these reports were found to be false. He was considered for selection for the national homeless squad after his performance in the European Street Football Festival, but he ultimately did not play in the tournament.Club careerEarly careerBébé was signed by Portuguese Second Division side Estrela da Amadora in the summer of 2009 having previously played for amateur side Loures.His former agent, Goncalo Reis, revealed that Bébé was offered to PSV Eindhoven for free in May 2010. However, PSV turned down the offer as they did not know him.He was then signed by Vitória de Guimarães in the summer of 2010 on a free transfer after Estrela failed to pay his wages. He signed a five-year contract with a €9 million release clause. However, he did not play an official match for the club; it was his pre-season form, scoring five goals in six games, that alerted some of Europe's big clubs, including Real Madrid.Manchester UnitedOn 11 August 2010, only five weeks after he signed for Vitória de Guimarães, Manchester United agreed an undisclosed fee with the Portuguese club for the transfer of Bébé.The fee was reported to be around £7.4 million, believed to be the value of the buy-out clause in the forward's contract.It was also reported that Real Madrid and Benfica were interested in him.Bébé was recommended to Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson by Portugal national team coach Carlos Queiroz, Ferguson's former assistant. Ferguson only met him the day before the transfer. On 12 August 2010, David Gill stated that Bébé will not be sent out on loan and that he will join up with the first-team squad to prove himself and to learn English.The transfer was completed on 16 August, following Bébé's medical and the submission of the appropriate paperwork, and he was unveiled to the media at a press conference the following day, along with fellow new signings Javier Hernández and Chris Smalling.On 6 September 2010, he was announced as part of the 25-man squad for Manchester United to play in the UEFA Champions League.On 22 September 2010, Bébé made his debut for Manchester United as he replaced Park Ji-Sung in the 74th minute of a 5-2 away victory over Scunthorpe in the League Cup.On 2 October 2010, he made his Premier League debut, coming on for Anderson in the 80th minute in their 0--0 draw against Sunderland.International careerBébé was a Portugal under-19 international. In August 2010, Bébé was called up to the under-21 squad for the first time for their 2011 European under-21 qualifiers against England and Macedonia in early September.He made his debut for the under-21s, playing as a lone striker in their 1--0 loss to England on 4 September. He then scored his first goal for the under-21 side three days later in their final qualifying game against Macedonia, netting the first in a 3--1 win.

Jan 29, 2012 - it's a great story him being homeless and then on £10,000 a week at united but for 7million we sure wasted our money. he's an average championship player who some how got signed for united.

Feb 1, 2012 - 7mil isn't a "huge" flop. In comparrison to carroll and torres
Mythicalcurse Says:
Feb 1, 2012 - But they had reputations, Bebe had no reputation. If you paid £8 million for some random 18 year old and he did nothing and was out of his depth, he woul be a massive flop and a stupid purchase... might like Bebe is. Nothing against him personally, seems a nice guy but he was a terrible signing.
JemF1nch Says:
Feb 1, 2012 - True, but he's done as much for united as Caroll's done for liverpool (nothing)

Feb 14, 2012 - OK i understand that we shouldnt jump to conclusions and say he is a rubbish player. He should be given a chance of course. But why are people saying he has great talent? How do they know that. Theyve all seen him play as much as i have and what i have seen was complete rubbish!

Mar 16, 2012 - this is a great story, but remember that man u signed "bebe" who no one had heard of instead of signing the master Ozil...
madskillz1886 Says:
Mar 20, 2012 - I despise Man U and all theyre about but I cant help but be happy for this guy. I read an article making fun of how he's makes 17 euros a year and read a few of his quotes. What a humble guy. I dont care if he makes 50 cents a year, this man fulfilled a dream millions of people have had and will always have. They can take away his house and send him back to the streets, but at 20 he has already achieved his ultimate dream.

Jan 14, 2012 - Probably thw worst signing of Sir Alcohols and probably the worst in the Premier league history. He did not play a single game in Besiktas! This kid is a flop, Sir aex was cheated on.
