The ex-Scotland international claims Rafael has all the tools to be a superb player for Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson, and intimated there is no better place to learn the intricacies of playing fullback then at Old Trafford. Albiston urged the precocious youngster to talk with Gary Neville and Patrice Evra about the art of defending.
Albiston told the Manchester Evening News: “Rafa will put the incident behind him. He is a great talent and his ability is second to none. This is all part of the growing up process at Old Trafford, You have to overcome adversity at United and he will. Incidents like Tuesday are highlighted because of the enormity of the game and because it is United. He will be getting used to that kind of exposure and scrutiny.
“Rafa is no slouch. He is quick, probably quicker than Craig Bellamy. But Bellamy is experienced and he is also a striker who wants to score goals.”
