Brazil international Rafael is hopeful of playing out his career at Manchester United.

The 24 year-old, who moved to England from Fluminense in January 2008, has made over 150 appearances for United and is keen to earn himself a long-term future at the club.

“I am glad I am still here, but sad because a lot of friends have left,” he told United Uncovered

“I want to keep going and stay here forever, if possible. It depends on me to play well, I need to play well. I just want to stay here.

“I came here at 15-years-old so I have to say that I feel at home here. I can never say enough about this club. It is one of the best clubs in the world, if not the best in the world.”
