Manchester United Concerned About Bebe's Progress - Report
Striker has struggled in training...
Bebe, 20, has been the surprise signing of the transfer window so far after he was plucked from obscurity in a £7.4 million deal from Vitoria.
The Portuguese striker is understood to have struggled to make an impression in training during his first fortnight at the club and he wasn't part of the star studded 16-man squad selected for the second string clash.
Coaching staff at the Carrington training complex have aired their reservations about his fitness, confidence and first touch, suggesting that he is still quite a way from becoming part of the first team.
Bebe could now be forced to wait for the League Cup campaign to begin next month before making a splash at United.
