Bebe departs Man Utd for Benfica

Portuguese club Benfica have confirmed the signing of Bebe from Manchester United.

The 24-year old winger has signed a four-year deal with the Lisbon club after four years at Old Trafford where he managed just seven appearances.

Bebe joined United in a shock £7.4million from Vitoria de Guimaraes in the summer of 2010 despite then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson having never seen him play.

In 2011 he joined Besiktas on loan and has since spent time with Rio Ave and Pacos de Ferreira - the latter stint yielding 14 goals from 39 outings.
