Manchester United's surprise signing Bebe is struggling so badly in training that he was pulled out of a reserve game last night, it has been claimed.
The former Portuguese street kid, who cost £7million from Vitoria de Guimaraes was supposed to make his debut against Manchester City's second-string Elite Squad but was withdrawn after discussions between Sir Alex Ferguson and Old Trafford reserve team coach Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.
It is thought that Bebe's touch and control have been found wanting in training and coaches have doubted that he will be in contention for a first team place in the near future.
