Manchester United new-boy Bebe has made the Red Devils' Champions League squad after all. [LNB]United submitted their list of 25 players to UEFA last week, with Owen Hargreaves among the names excluded as Sir Alex Ferguson declined to take a chance on a player who has experienced so many injury problems and is currently in the United States with no real idea when he will be back. [LNB]It seemed Bebe had been left out too, which only intensified the interest in a player that finished last season in the third tier of Portuguese football.

[LNB]United put Bebe's omission down to an administrative error at UEFA and the governing body have now confirmed the 20-year-old is on the list and would be available for Tuesday's opening game against Rangers at Old Trafford should Ferguson want him.[LNB] A more likely debut would be in the Carling Cup tie at Scunthorpe the following week, although even that cannot be taken for granted givenFerguson's recent comments about the player needing to increase his fitness levels.[LNB] Wayne Rooney jets out to Switzerland as Fabio Capello gambles on striker's mind setSign up to our FREE Fantasy Football game - with £40,000 in prize money up for grabsFergie didn't knock us off our perch...
