Mum's happy, admits Fabio Silva as he and twin brother Rafael prepare to join Manchester United later this year.

The 16 year-old twins have never played on opposing teams, coming through the Brazilian futsal system together before joining Fluminense, where they've been since they were 12 years of age.

Right-sided Rafael and left-sided Fabio play as wing-backs for Brazil U17 and the latter says: "The good part of it all is that Mum is happy. The bad part is the interviews, because we're always interviewed together and it takes longer!"

On who is the better player, Rafael pipes up: "Some people say it's me, others say it's Fabio. It's funny. I just think it all depends on what happens on the day during a game."

Fabio, however, adds: "It's me! At least at the moment because I'm scoring more goals."

Fabio also says: "In July we'll both join Manchester United. They've signed us together and we will be together in England."
