LOAN WATCH: Man Utd trio Bebe, Henriquez, Powell perform well on debut for loan clubs

A trio of Manchester United youngsters made their debuts for their loan clubs on the weekend.

Bebe, who joined the Red Devils in 2010, enjoyed a spritely game for Pacos de Ferriera in their 3-1 loss to Benfica. The 22-year-old Portuguese striker, who is currently on his third spell on loan, came close to scoring in the second half and managed to play out the full 90 minutes.

Angelo Henriquez had a stellar game for Real Zaragoza in their 3-0 defeat of Tenerife on Saturday. The Chilean striker was involved in several attacking plays at the La Romareda and was unlucky to not have one on the scoresheet himself.

Nick Powell, who joined Wigan Athletic on loan a week ago, came on after 55 minutes to make his competitive debut for the Latics in their 2-0 loss at Leicester City.

The 19-year old midfielder is highly rated at United and manager David Moyes will be keeping a close eye on his progress as he gains experience playing senior football in the Championship.
