Floundering at Man Utd led me to Portugal, where I was treated like royalty despite my mistakes.

Manchester United flop Bebe believes his time at Old Trafford could have been a success if his attitude had been different. The winger, signed for a substantial sum in 2010, reflects on his lack of professionalism and how it impacted his career at one of the biggest clubs in the world. His account of his personal struggles, including being placed in an orphanage by his grandma, sheds light on the challenges he faced as a young player navigating through the pressures of professional football. Bebe’s story offers a candid look at the impact of guidance and support on a young athlete’s career.

Former Manchester United flop Bebe believes that if he had adjusted his attitude, he could have been successful at Old Trafford. Despite being signed for a hefty fee of £8.5million in 2010, just a year after turning pro, Bebe only made seven appearances for the Red Devils and managed to score twice before being sent out on loan to Besiktas and then transferred to Benfica. However, Bebe attributes his lack of success to his poor attitude and lack of guidance rather than a lack of talent. He acknowledges that he should have been more professional, taken better care of his body, and focused on football instead of indulging in reckless behavior during his time at United. Bebe, who grew up in an orphanage, also blames his lack of guidance and discipline from a father figure for his wayward actions during his time at the club. Despite his challenging upbringing, Bebe still holds the belief that he could have made it at United if he had been able to make better decisions.
