Man Utd defender Rafael not leaving for Brazil

26 September 2013 - 08:49

Brazilian full back Rafael will not be sold by Manchester United, amidst reports of a potential move back to his homeland with Corinthians. The defender has attracted the interest of several sides having been replaced in United's first team in recent weeks.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • Rafael's agent has ruled out talk of a move away though, with Cassiano Pereira telling reporters that there is no plan to quit Old Trafford.



    "I see it as being quite difficult [signing Rafael].” He told the Mirror



    "He's a starter, despite having been injured [and] nobody at Corinthians has talked to me.



    "Suddenly, there is interest. If there is, it's great. All third parties and players see Corinthians very positively, but it's hard, because he is happy at United.... He is not even thinking about returning to Brazil."
