Former Manchester United star Bebe has joined his ninth club since leaving Old Trafford back in 2014.

The Portuguese-born attacker saw his Rayo Vallecano contract torn up last week in order for the Spanish side to reduce their wage bill.

Bebe originally joined the club on loan back in 2015, and then once again in 2018 before eventually joining on a permanent deal following the end of his second spell at the club.

The club released the following statement to confirm the 34-year-old's departure: "Bebe is no longer a Rayo Vallecano player. From the club, we want to thank him for everything he has given to this entity during eight seasons and we wish him the best of luck in his next stage."

However, despite the shock decision to release Bebe, it hasn't taken him long to secure a new contract at another Spanish side as he has since been announced as a Racing Ferrol player.

Racing Ferrol are based in the north of Spain and finished 10th last season in Segunda División (La Liga 2) and will be hoping the experience of Bebe can help them mount a serious promotion push for 2025.

Bebe was catapulted into the limelight back in 2010 when he was signed for Manchester United by Sir Alex Ferguson for a reported fee of £7.4m.

Despite only making seven appearances for the club throughout his four-year contract, the Cape-Verde international actually managed to grab two goals for United.

Bebe had loan spells at Turkish side Besiktas and in his homeland with Rio Ave and Pacos de Ferreira while at Old Trafford, before eventually leaving for Benfica.

Back in 2016, the website 'Football Leaks' posted a copy of the contract that Bebe originally signed when he joined United in 2010.

The contract, which was shared by Goal, showed that Bebe agreed to a significant signing-on bonus as part of his move to Old Trafford.

It showed that United agreed to pay Bebe a staggering signing-on fee of £500,000, spread across the four years of his contract.

He received his first payment of £100,000 from the club on August 31, 2010, with the remaining money arriving at yearly intervals.
