Bebe makes Champions League squad after all...

The news that Bebe had been seemingly omitted from United's Champions League 25-man squad list provoked much speculation over the weekend, with suggestions from the media that it is likely the transfer will be looked into in greater detail following the £7.4m summer signing.

Matters were not helped when a former agent and coach claimed the player could have been signed for a nominal fee back in January 2010. So when United initially announced that their Champions League 2010/2011 squad list would contain the names of just 24 players instead of the permitted 25 and Bebe's name was not among the list the spotlight just intensified.

It remains to be seen if Bebe will make his Champions League debut this season. But whatever happens in over 40 years of watching Manchester United, I cannot recall a transfer that has created so much controversy.
