Rafael inherits #2

Congratulations

What do you think?

Does he deserve it?


I expect Fabio to wear #21 when he returns.

Nice. He absolutely deserves it. He's a hell of a lot better than Dani Alves and Lahm defensively.

He was awful at the olympics final

He was brilliant in like 100 other matches.

Very pleased for him. The true successor of Gary Neville. Just has to cut out his day dreaming antics on the pitch, calm down a bit, and he will be a top, top RB. He has all the tools to succeed.

He has been given the opportunity, this shirt # is a mark of intent on how much SAF believes in Rafael, he has to seize it now.

Big season for Rafa.

It's posts like this that discredtit united fans on this forum. Utter drivel

Rafael was excellent for us yesterday but better than Lahm defensively....Please?

Rafael is very good at body to body duels and very fast.His strength is at a high level.He has great sprint and acceleration.Also his ball control and crosses are improved; but remember that Rafael is the cause of that 4-4 against Everton last season.He is still weak at marking his man.

Anyway, 'bravo meu amigo' !

Best RB in the league.

I was kidding, but now that I think about it, he's not far off. Who do you rate better than him?

I rate Kyle Walker at the same level...

Bacary Sagna comes into my mind.

Sagna and Richards are better, by far. Attacking wise though, not that much of a difference.
