The Brazilian full-back claims that he is delighted with his much improved performances this term and was hoping to make a major impact after starting the season brightly.
After Gary Neville’s retirement, Rafael was seen as the one to take up the gauntlet and take charge from the right.
While his youthful spirit often affected his attitude on the pitch, the player has been able to drastically improve his consistency and above all his discipline.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903, Rafael has enjoyed an extended run in the first-team since August.
The Brazilian has made great use of his time in the side and can now lay genuine claim to being a first-choice starter after gathering glowing plaudits from pundits and coaches alike.
With ability to bombard down the flank and cover the trickiest of opponents in defence, his services are likely to be utilized extensively in the next few years, something which the Selecao star is clearly relishing at the moment.
Speaking to reporters, the player claimed that he was delighted with his performances this season and was hoping that he can improve even further as his career continues to blossom.
"I start every season hoping to make an impression and play a lot of games, but I couldn't have imagined how well this season has gone for me. It's been great, and yes, I've been a little surprised to have played so many games. But I'm not a young player
anymore,” said the attacker.
Continuing, he revealed his desire to take part in every Manchester United game, whether be it in Europe’s premier competition, the UEFA Champions League, or the F.A Cup, which is yet to start.
"I feel like I've developed and I want to play in every single game,” Rafael was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
United now take on Sunderland this week and despite the return of all the defenders from injury, the full-back is expected to retain his place in the line-up when Martin O’Neill’s men come to visit.
