Rafael: "I'm not leaving" Manchester United

Manchester United defender Rafael has moved to dismiss reports that he is ready to leave the club.

The Brazilian's representative Cassiano Pereira claimed that it was "very likely" that his client would be leaving Old Trafford this summer, alongside twin brother Fabio.

However, Rafael took to his Instagram account to refute the suggestions that he is ready to call time on his United career.

He posted a message that simply stated: "I'm not leaving".

Despite establishing himself as a key member of Sir Alex Ferguson's side last season, Rafael has made just nine appearances under David Moyes this term.
