Champions League inclusion shocks Man Utd's Bebe

Bebe has admitted surprise at his inclusion in Manchester United's Champions League squad. The Portugal Under-21 international signed for the Old Trafford club last month for a reported fee of £7.4m with boss Sir Alex Ferguson insisting that the winger has a bright future at the club.

The 20-year-old was named in United's squad despite initial reports he had not made the cut along with Owen Hargreaves.

"I'm surprised by my inclusion in the Champions League squad," he said.

"It's a dream for me. I never thought I would have made it, but now I am a very happy man.

"I only hope that my confidence returns when I start playing some games and scoring goals, like I know how.

"At the moment I am working very hard each day in training.

"I intend to make the most of my chance and hopefully profit from the opportunity given to me."
