Bailiffs visit Manchester United training complex in search of Bebe

Debt collectors went to the Premier League champions' Carrington training base looking for the Portuguese attacker, who spent last term on loan at Rio Ave, but could not find him

New Manchester United boss David Moyes has his own headaches with the Wayne Rooney saga - but they are nothing in comparison to those of his Portuguese forward Bebe.

The Premier League champions are well used to receiving visitors to their Carrington training complex, but last weekend was a first.

Bailiffs turned up at the Red Devils' HQ last week demanding to speak with the £7 million flop. United's own security refused to permit the debt collectors entry, who returned an hour later with police officers to search for the 23-year-old.

Goal. com contacted Greater Manchester Police who confirmed that “shortly before 11am on Saturday 13 July 2013, police were called to a training complex on Isherwood Road, Carrington.

“Officers attended and established the matter was a civil one that is now being dealt with by the relevant parties.”  (Culled from Goal.com)

Bebe had been training that morning but the bailiffs were unable find him. 

Other reports suggest that the Portuguese may have hidden in the boot of a team-mate’s car to dodge his pursuers but the incident is sure to have irked new boss David Moyes who will now be eager to throw Bebe out.
