Manchester United<\/a> striker Bebe<\/a> wants to prove he’s not an expensive flop by having an impressive season-long loan spell at Turkish club Besiktas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in a surprise move from Portuguese club Guimaraes but only made seven first-team appearances.<\/p>\n

“I was happy to come to the best team in Turkey,” he said, according to The Daily Mail.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I want to prove that Ferguson was not wrong by hiring me.<\/p>\n

“He relied heavily on me, but unfortunately I could not show my value and I want to do this in Besiktas.”<\/p>\n

Bebe had only been at the Portuguese club for five weeks – and he didn’t play a game for them either – before United signed the player in a \u00a37.4 million deal.<\/p>\n

Ferguson later admitted he had bought him without seeing any footage of the striker in action.<\/p>\n

He went on to score six times in 13 reserve appearances and netted in the League Cup and the Champions League.<\/p>\n

It is hoped that he can come back from Turkey a different player who could challenge the likes of Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, Dimitar Berbatov, Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda for a place in United’s starting XI.<\/p>\n
