Although both the England Internationals are naturally centre-backs, they have displayed enough versatility to slot in at the right, cutting down Rafael’s chances of playing.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson had shown a preference for the Selecao International, but after some rash performances chose to let calmer heads take his place in the starting line-up. As a result, the 21-year-old only took to the pitch 18 times during the 2011/12 campaign.
Unlike his brother, who is close to signing for English Premier League side Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314, the defender will continue his development in Manchester under the tutelage of Ferguson, with the club offering him a new contract extension.
According to his representative, the player is happy in his current surroundings and wants to continue competing at the very highest level with the Red Devils.
"Rafael is very happy to be able to stay at Manchester United, who are one of the biggest clubs in football and are always playing in Europe's biggest competitions,” he said.
On a closing note, Cassiano Pereira also added that at United, his client had made his name and all the concerned parties were enthralled with the contract restitution.
"Besides, they opened Rafael the doors to Europe, where his qualities are appreciated and where he has earned respect and prestige. Everyone is happy with this renewal,” the agent was quoted as saying.
Rafael is labeled as one of Brazil’s most highly sought after talents and will be looking to earn regular game time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869 from the National team spot ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
While that will be his crowning achievement on the International stage, the youngster must turn his attention to pre-season with the Reds, who will be looking to regain their lost glory next term.
