Bebe’s leaked contract shows the stunning amount of money he siphoned from Manchester United

Obese stacks of cash on offer

Bebe, even after he has left Old Trafford, is still being a nuisance.

Arguably the worst signing of the Alex Ferguson era, the Portuguese striker’s contract has been leaked and the details would make any banker weep tears of joy.

Bebe joined United in 2010 and picked up a hefty wedge for his non-efforts until, after several loan spells, he was shipped out to Benfica in 2014.

The Football Leaks website claims to have a copy of Bebe’s contract and a bonus payments document, which shows that over £5million would have been shared among the players if they had won the Champions League in 2009/10.

Of course players would get bigger bonuses for the longer they spent on the pitch.

Even coming second in most cup competitions was worth a serious wedge of cash as well to the squad, over £5 million by our figures.

Bebe’s contract shows that he earned £900,000 a year and was given a £100,000 bonus for every year he stayed at Old Trafford.

Unreal.

Manchester United failed to land any of the major prizes, but did pick up the League Cup, which was worth half a million to the squad.
