The Brazilian full-back has struggled to cement his place in the United first-team this season, and has failed to produce when selected.
The 24-year-old has not featured since the FA Cup victory over Yeovil at the beginning of January, and according to the Metro, he could be set to leave at the end of the season.
Van Gaal is reportedly lining up an offer for Southampton and England star Nathaniel Clyne, with the club preparing to spend a massive amount of cash to bolster their title push next season.
Should Clyne arrive at Old Trafford, it will likely spell the end of Rafael’s United career, and with only a year remaining on his current deal, the club will look to cash in before he becomes a free agent.
