The red half of Manchester are gushing over their newest star in the making, Brazilian Rafael Da Silva.

The 18-year-old right-back has had an incredible season so far and has established himself as the first choice in his position with Gary Neville relegated to the bench.

Instead of letting fame get to him, Rafael has signaled his true intentions by declaring that he is interested in only two things. More titles and more appearances for the Red Devils.

Rafael said: "I want titles. We are already world champions but I want more, including the Premier League.

"And I want to make lots of appearances, of course. For me, at 18, it has been amazing."

Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson was quick to laud praise on his latest fledging when he said: "When a player like Rafael breaks into the club with form and ability like that, there's not a lot you can do about it. You have to pick him.

"The boy is ready for it all."

United have had a great two weeks after taking over from Liverpool at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
