Agent: Rafael da Silva staying with Manchester United

Rafael da Silva's agent Cassiano Pereira has dismissed reports linking his client with a move to Brazilian side Corinthians.

Pereira was quoted saying in the The Daily Mirror: "I see it as being quite difficult [signing Rafael]. He's a starter, despite having been injured [and] nobody at Corinthians has talked to me... He is happy at United.... He is not even thinking about returning to Brazil."


Rafael da Silva joined the Red Devils along with his twin brother Fabio in January 2008 from Brazilian outfit Fluminense.
