Solskjaer is still waiting to secure his third summer signing

#1 Rafael gives advice to Wan-Bissaka

In an interview to Stretty News, Rafael da Silva, the former United full back, looked back at his time at United and it was clear that the Brazilian was still a Red Devil at heart. When asked to describe United, he had this to say:

Firstly, I would describe Manchester United as a home. Manchester United was my home and it’s still my home because of how the fans still talk about me.

It’s a very, very big club and before you go you must know that it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and they are going to help you.

Rafael also provided some quick advice for new boy Aaron Wan-Bissaka

I have heard a lot of good things about him. From him – being a young right-back joining Manchester United – I just say give everything.

He must play with confidence because he is playing with the best club in the world. Do you best but remember you must also enjoy playing for the best club in the world, to play football with love and passion.

I heard he has passion which is very important.
