He could still play for us, I think!
This!Showed more passion than our whole squad
Was sad to see him and his brother leave United. Played poker with them many may times till 3am but won't say it was on a match day. Doesn't look a day older than when he left.Should never have been sold, a class player.
You could say or Nani for RWDon’t think we’ve ever had better than him or Evans in their positions since. Van Gaal has a lot to answer for.
The main thing I can remember about him is red cards.The guy is utter shit. He is playing for some random Turkish team and people still want him back & still think he will be good for us.
Talking one moment about how our players are crap and then talking about the opposition as if they put a legendary performance aswell.
Rafael is one of the most overrated players I've ever seen at United.
I personally think that some fans think showing anger or some heat in their play is an instant sign of passion for playing for this club. I saw this with how players like Rafael and Herrera have their own fan clubs by passion alone.The main thing I can remember about him is red cards.
Fits with the 'bleeds for the club', 'fights for the badge' and 'putting in a shift'.I personally think that some fans think showing anger or some heat in their play is an instant sign of passion for playing for this club.

His season in our last title winning team was overrated? Sometimes I wonder if fans have eyes. Who do you class as good then, Darmian?The guy is utter shit. He is playing for some random Turkish team and people still want him back & still think he will be good for us.

How many did he get at united? Against Spurs, Bayern, anyone else?The main thing I can remember about him is red cards.
I wonder if fans have brains just as much as you wonder if people have eyes.His season in our last title winning team was overrated? Sometimes I wonder if fans have eyes. Who do you class as good then, Darmian?
He was defensively very good in a 1 on 1, could attack, cross and score the occasional goal, and had passion. If SAF had stuck around for 5 more years I guarantee he would've had 5 more good seasons with us.
Says a lot about our team last night then, in fact, go watch his games when he was with us - and compare how we are actually playing since lvg. If he is the most over-rated player in our team ever, i wonder what team you've been watching the last few years mate.The guy is utter shit. He is playing for some random Turkish team and people still want him back & still think he will be good for us.

You still haven't explained anything. What made Rafael shit? Did he not play very well in SAFs last season?I wonder if fans have brains just as much as you wonder if people have eyes.
Saf could turn absolute rubbish in to league winners, welbeck, cleverly, Rafael etc. The league wasnt even anywhere the level it is now with all the tactical philosophies that nearly every club seem to have ingrained to their core.
Anyway il just say I was wrong and Rafael should have been at a better club than his Turkish one too because he won a league with SAF.
So why did Rafael struggle at Lyon to the level he went down to Istanbul?You still haven't explained anything. What made Rafael shit? Did he not play very well in SAFs last season?
Using 'SAF made dross look good' is a poor cop-out, because you can apply it to every player that played under SAF then.
Cleverly anyone with eyes good see was an extremely limited footballer, ditto Welbeck with his finishing. That doesn't automatically apply to Rafael though who showed he was a very good footballer in his time with us. I bet you're the sort that was overjoyed when Van Gaal got rid of him, Nani etc and replaced them with actual dross in Darmian, Depay, Schneiderlin and Bastian.
The main thing you remember about his 7 years and 170 games at United is 3 red cards?The main thing I can remember about him is red cards.
