They seem to be popping up, so I thought why not start it for my man crush.
Interesting season coming up for Rafael. Like many players last year, it was one to forget but his fight and passion showed just how much it hurt him, so I expect him to bounce back.
If the move to a 3 at the back proves to be a permanent one, I do think that his quality will earn him a place over Valencia but there is no doubting he will face stiff competition from Valencia. I have always felt Rafael would excel in a 352 but he really needs to find his form from 2012/13 again. Lets hope he learns a lot off van Gaal and we continue to see him mature.
Hopefully his rest and a good, injury free pre-season sets him up nicely for the season.
