5 youngsters who were tipped to become the next Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United

#2 Bebe

Bebe had every ingredient to be a hit

On 16th August 2010 manchester united announced the signing of Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and a young kid from Portugal- Bebe. While the former two succeded, Bebe failed miserably.

At 6’3” the towering Portuguese forward had every ingredient to be a hit. United fans thought they got another Portuguese superstar who will emulate his national compatriot’s deeds at Old Trafford. Unfortunately what United fans got were four years of a torrid spell by Bebe.

Bebe spent the majority of his Manchester United career on loan at clubs like Besiktas, Rio Ave, and Pacos de Ferreira. In four years, the Portuguese forward played just seven times before being sold to Spanish side Eibar. Bebe’s disastrous outing with red devils came to an end in 2014 and the search for next Ronaldo went on.
