He's surely in with a good shout of the right-back slot for the Selecao for their home World Cup, no?

He has played great in the first half and really has been playing superb this season, so lets hope he keeps it up.
That through ball to RVP for the 2nd goal was fantastic.

Get him on a 10 year deal please.
Another very good performance from him. His development this season really has been excellent. Now to see how he plays midweek.
Easily man of the match today
Should be in that Brazil team easilly.
Such a brilliant footballer. With an excellent attitude to boot.
What a performance, he play like his life depends on it.
For me the new Bryan Robson..

Superb performance. Deservedly motm.
Remember when he couldn't defend? These days he's playing with so much maturity and assurance in his game. He's looking like a complete full back.
Now I hope he saved some of that energy for Real Madrid. He's gonna need to be in Beast Mode against their attackers.

Favourite United player by a country mile.
He's top class, glad that he's now getting the recognition he deserves.
Never seen Rafael give an interview after a game. Should do more
Sure it was him?
He looked well happy with the motm award!
So loveable isn't he.
Yup, he is a really likeable character.
Ha, that interview. His grin is absolutely infectious. Deserved MOTM award - he was absolutely top class today.
Keep Rafa At United.
Now comes ahead of him the biggest challenge of his young career
Sure he'll be well up to it after the Bayern tie in 2010. Even though it was more down to Ribery being a cnut.
My old man still thinks he's shit and too short 
He just feels like a true united player, so much spirit and tenacity

He's just brilliant, in all aspects of the game.
Brilliant today again, really has come on leaps and bounds. Hope Fabio can strive to do what his brother has done in the next year and we will be really well stocked on both sides.
I say he is one of, if not, the best, fullback in the PL. When I say this to other fans though they laugh and say he is shit. Not sure why people have that opinion.

Such a great player and still years off his peak as well.
Who laughs at 'the best right-back in the PL' now? The progress he's made is nothing short of sensational. He's already good enough to play here for years and he's only going to improve.
Brazil will have one hell of full-backs in him and Marcelo.

People don't see our games in and out like we do though, they're still going off a few of his rash performances early on.
Popular opinion will catch up it just takes a while.
Brilliant performance again. Easily one of the best fullbacks in the league and has no fear running the ball from one end of the pitch to the other.
What a brilliant performance by Rafael. With the exceptional defending he demonstrated throughout the game, and high-energy coupled with ingenuity he provided in attack, I don't think any fan would deny that he was clearly today's man of the match. I hope he shows a similar type of performance next Wednesday when he'll arguably face his toughest opponent yet.
I sorely hope that is Fabio in the future.
Contract until death should be the minimum offer.
That was as good a full back performance as I have ever seen. He was absolutely outstanding.
Motm for me too and best RB in the league. Haters gonna hate.
Must be in for a shout for most improved United player this season?
Link to interview please?
Defo my favourite player. The little guy has come on leaps and bounds

It was a nice little interview to watch. He's one of those players who just comes across as a nice guy, a bit like Hernandez. Hard working and humble, a class act.
Rafael is at last getting the credit he deserves can't remember the amount of times I've heard so-called experts say United have a problem at right back this season and last. How many full backs besides Rafa have shut down Bale virtually every time they've been head to head? Yet the media will praise Baines, a full back who regularly goes walkies and has awful positioning when asked to do anything other than go forward and cross. Bizarre...
Scary to think how good he will be when he matures and bulks up even more.
