Reading set to give chance to Benfica's Man Utd flop Bebe

Championship club Reading are contemplating the possibility of signing Bebe this summer.

The Daily Mirror reports that Royals boss Steve Clarke could give the 24-year old Portuguese forward another opportunity in English football.

Bebe was surprisingly signed by Sir Alex Ferguson for £7.5million from Vitoria de Guimaraes in 2010 despite the Scottish tactic never having seen him play.

Bebe made six appearances for United before being offloaded to Benfica last summer but he could be back in the UK after his loan spell with Spanish side Cordoba expires at the end of the season.
