    Bebe to make Beşiktaş switch

    BebeManchester United forward Bebe will spend next season on loan at Besiktas with a view to completing a £2 million move to the Turkish club, according to reports.

    Bebe, 20, joined United in a shock £7.4 million deal from Portuguese club Vitoria de Guimaraes last summer and has really struggled to make his mark at Old Trafford.

    The Portugal Under-21 never played a game for Vitoria was available for £125,000 from his old club Estrela da Amadora just months before he joined United and Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he had only seen the player on video.

    Turkish news agency Dogan Haber Ajansi (DHA) claim Bebe, who had only played club football in the Portuguese third division before joining United, has agreed to join Besiktas to get his career back on track.

    With Aston Villa forward Ashley Young on the brink of completing a move to United to provide more options out wide, Bebe will be allowed to go out on loan.

    If the deal is made permanent it would represent a £5.4 million loss for United.
