Can Rafael fill the Neville void at United?
Rafael has been able to step up to the challenges that have come his way so far during his United career, but even though he has proved that he can deliver at the very top level, it will take time for fans to start to embrace him in the same way that they acted towards club legend Gary Neville.
If Rafael can start to show that he can be a longstanding part of a defence that could go on to establish United as the single most successful club in British football, whilst also starting to generate an intense hatred on the behalf of Liverpool fans (something Neville managed throughout his successful career to the delight of United supporters), he may just have the talent to one day rank alongside the now retired Neville as a United great.
