Bebe smuggled out in boot of a car after bailiffs come looking for him at Man United training ground

This story is likely to do nothing for Bebe’s status as former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson’s worst ever signing!

Goal.com report that debt collectors arrived at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground last week to look for the Portuguese winger.

Whilst Manchester United were enjoying the sights and sounds of Australia, Bebe is training and playing with the Under-21 side and appears to have had a brush with the law.

Initially, bailiffs were denied entrance to Manchester United’s training ground, but then returned with police officers to search for the forward who spent last year on loan at Rio Ave.

According to Greater Manchester Police: “Shortly before 11am on Saturday 13 July 2013, police were called to a training complex on Isherwood Road, Carrington. Officers attended and established the matter was a civil one that is now being dealt with by the relevant parties.”

There are suggestions that Bebe avoided the bailiffs and police by hiding in the boot of a car of a team mate to leave Manchester United’s training ground!

This will no doubt add to the intrigue surrounding Bebe who has struggled at Manchester United since he was plucked from obscurity in 2010.
