Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted they trumped Real Madrid for new signing Bebe.
Real Madrid were reportedly preparing to make a move, and they were not the only ones, according to Sir Alex's sources.
He told manutd.com: "You'd have to ask Real if they were interested, but I know they were hovering and so were Benfica. So were one or two other clubs, and that's where you have to make quick decisions in life - and I'm not too bad at that."
