Manchester United defender Rafael has discussed his best friend at Old Trafford and has listed Scotland international Darren Fletcher among them.
The Brazilian spoke to the Official Manchester United website about his team mates and what they do away from football matters.
And the full-back explained how he can talk football all night during poker sessions with Fletcher.
Rafael said: "I have some big friends here. I would always say Antonio [Valencia] is the closest one.
"Anderson and Fletch are big friends of mine too. I have a lot of friends in the squad.
"When we are away, we do some other stuff, but of course we often talk about football.
"Sometimes, I go to Fletch"s house and we play poker and talk about football all night! But of course we do talk about other things as well."
Rafael also revealed that the Manchester United players don’t share hotels when they go on away trips.
He concluded: "No, we do not share rooms together but when we"re sitting in the lounge at the hotels, we often have conversations. It"s always nice to do that with your team-mates."
