Rafael has been outstanding in the few games he has been given. Has basically already replaced G Neville as first choice right back.
I expect the same from his twin brother and these two new lighties.

Rafael is getting lot of gametime. He has talent, altho if you watch him carefully you will pick up alot of errors in his game. He needs more experience. Reason Fergie gives him so much gametime is cos he doesnt have a choice.
Who else can play in that position. Neville?
Id rather for for Rafael.

Id rather for for Rafael.He's got loads of potential, but I watched the game against Boro and you can see his flaws. Bad positional play for example.
What I meant is that of late united dont really give their youngsters chances in the first team.

I spose. The game against Boro was probably his worst performance to date. But considering he is so young, he has been pretty solid.
Jonny Evans also does well when Rio is not there...

I can just picture Messi running towards Rafael
Maybe in a CL semi. Think if one of the better players in Europe were to go up against young Rafael, do you think he will cope?
I dont think so.
Um he's 18 years old
Of course he's going to have tons of flaws. Sheesh you talk as though he's 25 and been playing first team for years.Um he's 18 years old
Show me where i ever said that he looks like he has been playing first team for years.
He is young and inexperienced. His flaws are evident almost every week when he plays. Fact is, a striker like Eto, Benzema or Ruud will rip him apart.

Still, he's 18 years old and has played in the first team, which is outstanding for someone of his age.
Playing in the first team at that age is nothing amazing.
Bojan at 17 was regular in Barca's first team,played in the champs league/La liga and had goals in both(12 in all).Also got the record for most goals scored in a debut season.

Yes but that's Bojan who is something special like Messi.
