Former Manchester United winger Bebe admits that he enjoyed his time at Old Trafford, despite it being only a short stay.
Manchester United took the football world by surprise when they pulled out Bebe from obscurity and secured him on a deal from Portuguese outfit Vitoria S.C in 2010.
The winger struggled to come to terms with life at Manchester United and played very little senior football for the Red Devils. He spent time on loan at Besiktas, Rio Ave and Pacos Ferreira, before leaving the club permanently last summer for Benfica.
He joined Rayo Vallecano from Benfica this summer and is more or less a regular in a side who are currently 12th in the Spanish top tier.
Bebe still remembers his time at Manchester United and admits that he was shocked when he heard that he was moving to Old Trafford five summers ago.

Speaking to AS, the Portuguese said: “It all happened very quickly and was a total surprise.
“One day I was training and the next they were telling me that I was going to sign a five-year contract with Manchester United. I thought it was a joke.”
While his stay at Old Trafford was shortlived, he admits that the move was a dream come true and he enjoyed every bit of it.
Bebe added: “I wasn’t there long but I enjoyed it.
“It was every kids dream, it was insane. I was playing with the best in the world.
“It wasn’t easy; in the first week I had to take a deep breath, but I got used to it. I adapted and tried to fit in.”
