Man Utd fullback Rafael: Fabio and I want to play in 2014 World Cup

Manchester United fullback Rafael da Silva says he and twin brother Fabio want to be in the Brazil squad for the 2014 World Cup.

Both players have been called up at different times by Brazil coach Mano Menezes.

"Our goal is to make the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. To achieve this, we need more games at Manchester United, but we have patience," said Rafael.

"We are still young and at a top club like United it is perhaps only Wayne Rooney who is assured a starting spot and quite possibly Patrice Evra.

"You must realise that this goes with the territory for any player at a big club."
