Manchester United’s three best and three worst players this season: Rooney excellent, Fellaini dreadful

3) Rafael

The Brazilian was rated as one of the league’s best right-backs not very long ago, but this term, his defensive frailties have well and truly caught up with him. At 23-years-old, he should be maturing, but if anything – he looks more error prone than when he was a youngster. Rafael is also very capable of losing his temper, and has been very lucky not to have been sent off in a few matches. His passing has been equally poor, completing only 78% of them.
