Young Reds right-back Rafael has agreed a new two-year contract extension at United, a deal which keeps the promising Brazilian teenager at Old Trafford until at least June 2013.
Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the progress 18-year-old Rafael has made in his debut season with the Reds.
“Everyone at the club has been very impressed and excited by his first year as a professional," Sir Alex told ManUtd.com.
"His enthusiasm and the adventurous way he plays is typical of a Manchester United player, and we are delighted that he has signed a new contract.”
Rafael hopes that his new deal heralds a long association with United. “It has been a fantastic first season and I have been learning from all the players at the club, especially from the defence," he told us.
"It has been an exciting time for me and I want to be part of this club for a long time, so to get an extension to my contract is unbelievable."
