20 year old Portugese,Tiago Manuel Dias Correia also know as Bebe was the latest signing of Man Utd.

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 winger’s contract.

It was also reported thatReal Madrid were interested in the player.Bébé was recommended to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson by Portugal national team coach Carlos Queiroz, Ferguson’s former assistant. Ferguson only met the player the day before the transfer.The speed of the deal was said to be such that it was not even clear on what part of the pitch Bébé plays best – Man Utd suggest he is a striker but some Portuguese observers believe him to be an attacking midfielder. 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.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said in a press conference in August 2010 that he had scouts in Portugal who had spotted Tiago Manuel Dias Correia as a bright, quick, two footed player.
