Former Manchester United No2 Carlos Queiroz insists he knew little about Bebe when he moved to Old Trafford.
Queiroz, who had already left United at the time, says he knew nothing of the former Portugal Under-21 striker when news that he was heading to Manchester emerged.
"Bebe was not even part of our scouting files for the national team of Portugal. He didn't exist, in a system where nothing escaped us," Queiroz told FourFourTwo.
"So Bebe going to Man United took me by surprise. I called my coaches and asked them was what going on, why he didn't exist. I knew nothing about him."
Bebe is now with Benfica.
