The National is reporting that Chelsea are keen to sign Rafael da Silva and put in an enquiry about his availability last week. Rafael lost his place in the starting XI after a disappointing performance against Everton in that costly 4-4 draw with Everton towards the end of the season.
Talk of a surprise loan move for Fabio Da Silva to Benfica emerged from the manager last week and after confirmation from his agent, the player himself has commented. “I am excited about the opportunity to play for Benfica – a very famous and big club,” Fabio told A Bola. “I feel very honoured by [...]
Rafael da Silva has claimed that United have been so strong down the right flank this season because of his understanding with his best pal Antonio Valencia. “To be honest, I think it’s well recognised by everybody that Antonio has been one of my best friends at the club,” Rafael told MUTV. “That’s not to [...]
Fabio da Silva has sung the praises of Christian Eriksen ahead of Manchester United’s game against Ajax. Sir Alex Ferguson singled Eriksen out for praise after last week’s game against the Dutch club and even suggested we might be interested in buying him. “Eriksen is a very good player,” he told United Review. “He can [...]
Fabio da Silva has criticised Luis Suarez for refusing to shake Patrice Evra’s hand ahead of Manchester United’s 2-1 victory at the weekend. Rio Ferdinand refused to shake Suarez’s hand in response and Fabio reckons the Uruguayan’s behaviour helped motivate United even more than usual. “I believe that in life it is always necessary to [...]
Rafael was thrown in to the centre of midfield alongside Ji-Sung Park for Manchester United’s 3-2 defeat against Blackburn. Whilst he admits he is far happier in his usual position, he hasn’t ruled out making a move to the midfield when he’s older, although was surprised when Ferguson told him that’s where he was playing [...]
Rafael Da Silva has made just three league appearances this season after bad luck with injuries have kept him out of the team. Even when he does get on the pitch, there are plenty of tongue in cheek sweepstakes amongst United fans predicting what time he will be subbed off with an injury. Rafael has [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson has sung the praises of Manchester United’s Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio Da Silva, and hopes that the injuries which have seen them miss so much of the season so far will become more infrequent the older they get. “The two of them are terrific talents,” said Ferguson. “But they keep getting [...]

Fábio on… Rafael: “At home he only wants to mess around… he’s like a 10-year-old!” Vidic: “He’s a raging bull! His behaviour changes… sometimes he’s smiling, other times he’s anxious and wants to hit you!” Chicharito: “Everyone likes him… you know Mexicans, they’re always happy!” Berbatov: “He’s also really quiet… you only hear his voice [...]
The Da Silva brothers have been very impressed with the start Javier Hernandez has made to his Manchester United career. “He’s a great player,” said Rafael. “He has a lot of room to develop further, like us, but he started well and has been important for the team. I often mix with him, but I [...]
When the Da Silvas first joined Manchester United, the boss used Fabio’s wedding ring to tell him apart from identical brother Rafael. Since our right-back got married in the summer, Sir Alex Ferguson now struggles to tell them apart. “When we came to the club, Fabio had just got married and wore a ring so [...]
When the Da Silva boys joined Manchester United, it was Fabio who came with the biggest reputation. He was the Brazil U-17 captain who cost slightly more than his brother. However, it was Rafael we grew to love first. Whilst both aren’t the most robust, Fabio suffered more with injuries and when fit, had a [...]
