BEBE RUMOURED TO START FOR MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE CARLING CUP TODAY

If you’re looking to drop a bet on Manchester United’s new Portuguese signing then today is likely your best chance in quite a while as there is a very strong rumour that Sir Alex Ferguson is set to give him his Manchester United first team debut in today’s Carling Cup fixture against Scunthorpe.
Bebe’s rags-to-riches story is certainly great for the papers and the marketing department but the simple fact remains that United paid £7.4m for a player they’d never seen play. Sure he had been creating plenty of buzz in footballing circles over his raw ability, but just because you can dominate the Homeless World Cup doesn’t mean you can secure a starting spot for a Premier League team.
Bebe’s odds to score for United are trading at a 6/4 price anytime with popular UK bookmaker William Hill. You can also lock in a bet on Bebe to score first or last at an 11/2 listing. Should he wind up making a real impression and silencing all the critics, you can back him to score 2 goals or more at a 7/1 price tag.
Bebe’s odds to hit a hat-trick are trading at 40/1.
United are big favourites to win the match and you could see why Fergie would be willing to give his new signing a run out here. Expect to see a number of lesser-profile players take to the pitch for this one, but the younger generation coming through at United do genuinely look like an exciting bunch. Hopefully we get a good look at Gabriel Obertan in this one as his pace and trickery makes him a real promising threat.
