Bebe, the Manchester United winger, will be sidelined for six months after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament while playing for the Portugal under-21 team.

The winger had made a slow start to his Man-u career since joining the Champions from Vitoria de Guimaraes in 2010. He had actually been sent to Besiktas on a season long loan deal in June to get the player some experience and match fitness, something he won’t now be able to do.

The player is expected to have surgery on the injured knee as soon as both clubs decide where his rehabilitation should take place.
