Bebe admits Nani crucial in helping him settle at Man Utd

Bebe has given his first serious interview as a Manchester United player with Inside United magazine.

The Portuguese winger struck his second goal for the club in last night's Champions League win at Bursaspor.

He said: "I met Sir Alex (Ferguson) in England the day after I signed for the club. He told me I had to learn English quickly and to go as fast as I could to the hairdresser and get my hair cut! It was like a joke - but I think he maybe meant it too."

Bebe has also revealed that fellow Portuguese star Nani has played a key role in helping him to settle in the north-west.

"Nani is giving me a lot of help," Bebe reveals. "We have the same origins in Cape Verde [Nani was born there, as were Bebe's parents].

"I go to his house, he teaches me some English and gives me a lot of support. I want to give my best and try to reach the same level as him."
