Rayo Vallecano attacker Bebe: Man Utd time was just insane

Rayo Vallecano attacker Bebe has spoken of his time with Manchester United.

The former Portugal U21 international is showing impressive form for Rayo this season.

He told AS: "It was a lot of kids' dream, it was insane. I was playing with the best in the world. It wasn't easy, the first week I had to breathe deeply, but I got used to it. I got used to it and tried to fit in.

"Ferdinand, Giggs, Rooney... A few months earlier I was watching them on TV and here I was running, jumping and talking to them. Giggs really caught my attention, I saw how they loved him, always asking for autographs, pictures, jerseys...

"Ya, but I came there without much of an education, just what I was born with: talent, speed, strength... but you needed more. If a big club signed me now it'd be different."
