Manchester United fullback Rafael da Silva admits he wants to play for Brazil at the London Olympics.

The Reds right-back recently told ManUtd.com he'd love to represent Brazil at the London 2012 games, especially as some of the football action is to be staged at his home from home in Manchester.

"I hope we can both play for Brazil at the Olympics," Rafael told manutd.com, bringing his twin brother Fabio into the story.

"I really want to play. It's in England, the semi-final is at Old Trafford... that would be amazing."
