Man Utd Da Silva twins rule out playing for Portugal

Manchester United's Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael da Silva have ruled out pledging their international future to Portugal.

The pair, who have both played for Brazil U17, qualify for Portugal through family connections and there are concerns they could turn their back on Brazil.

"No way," declared Fabio.

"Our biggest dream is to represent Brazil at the 2014 World Cup. Of course it is wonderful to be in Manchester, and we want to stay here for a long time.

"But we'll never stop being Brazilian."
