Forgotten former Manchester United star signed by Sir Alex Ferguson scores 40-yard screamer at AFCON
Forgotten ex-Manchester United star Bebe scored a 40-yard screamer during the Africa Cup Of Nations.
The former Red Devil struck a vicious free-kick for Cape Verde in their Group B clash against Mozambique to give his nation the lead in a 3-0 victory.
Channeling his inner-Cristiano Ronaldo, Bebe lashed the ball past the goalkeeper and into the top corner of the net with a surefire goal of the tournament contender.
While there were doubts over the goalkeeping of Mozambique's Ernan Siluane, there's no doubting the quality of the strike.
While Bebe is a top star for Cape Verde, he's best-known for his ill-fated spell at Old Trafford.
The winger moved to Manchester United in 2010, aged 20, after being raised by the church having been abandoned by his parents as a young child in Portugal.
After nearly representing Portugal's national homeless squad, Bebe joined Vitoria de Guimaraes before signing for Man United for a fee of £7.4million, reportedly rejecting moves to Real Madrid and Benfica.
The move reportedly came by after Carlos Queiroz recommended him to then-boss, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Bebe was limited to just seven first team appearances for the Red Devils, enduring a number of underwhelming loan spells before joining Benfica.
However it was a move to Spain in 2018 that saw him kickstart his career, with Bebe — now 33 — currently playing for La Liga side Rayo Vallecano where he's scored four goals already this term.
