For seven years wearing the "Manchester United" jersey, right-back Rafael is spreading his wings to France. "Lyon" officially announced that they have acquired a player from Brazil from the "Red Devils". Rafael will sign a four-year contract with the French club, but his price has not been disclosed yet. "I thank the Manchester United club, Great Britain, which was very welcoming, and of course, Sir Alex Ferguson, who always believed in my work", said the Brazilian. The 25-year-old player arrived in Manchester in 2008. During that time, he played 169 matches and scored five goals. Rafael won eight titles with "Man Utd", including three English Premier League titles.
