ir Alex Ferguson described Fabio da Silva’s Champions League debut as “outstanding” after the Brazilian teenager impressed in Manchester United’s victory over CSKA Moscow last night. da Silva, twin to team mate Rafael, started United’s match at left-back after Patrice Evra failed to make the plane to Moscow.

Fabio produced a dynamic display in support of Nani, using his pace to add penetration to United’s attacking display.

“He was absolutely outstanding,” said Sir Alex Ferguson.

“The boy is a magnificent player at only 18 years of age. Absolutely first class.”

Manchester United have been boosted by the return of Gabriel Obertan and Rafael da Silva from injury.

French winger Obertan made his debut for United in the Manchester Senior Cup, completing the first half of the 3-0 win over Oldham Athletic. Brazilian full-back Rafael also featured, returning from a shoulder injury.

Obertan joined United on a four-year deal from Ligue 1 champions Bordeaux in July for a £3 million fee, but was immediately sidelined by a spinal problem.

Rafael has also been out since the summer, having undergone a shoulder operation.

A virtual unknown, even in his home country of Brazil, prior to the 2008/09 season, rampaging right-back Rafael quickly served notice of a bright, bombarding future at Old Trafford...

Start to finish: After the Da Silva brothers’ transfer from Fluminese was cleared in August, Rafael was given his chance to impress in a pre-season friendly against Peterborough. The Brazilian youth international seized it with a breathtaking display, leading Sir Alex Ferguson to describe his performance as "a sensation".

United have been monitoring Costa for over a year but interest from other European clubs has forced the English champions to step up their efforts.

The move for Costa follows the signing of other Brazilian youngsters Anderson, the Da Silva twins, Rafael and Fábio, and Rodrigo Possebon.

Reports suggest Costa has a £21m release clause in his contract, although United hope to bring that figure down.

Costa's agent Cesar Bottega said yesterday: "There have been informal conversations and I believe United would match those values"

Manchester United's Brazilian right back Rafael da Silva has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until June 2013.

The 18-year-old has had an excellent season for United, covering well for the injured Gary Neville and Wes Brown, who have both been sidelined for much of the season.

In total the identical twin, whose brother Fabio also plays at Old Trafford, has made 24 appearances for the club.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told the club's website: "Everyone at the club has been very impressed and excited by his first year as a professional.

Check out Fabio da Silva or Rafael da Silva!

Manchester United twins Fabio and Rafael Da Silva are set to snub Portugal and pledge their international careers to Brazil.

The twins were born in Brazil, however both hold Portuguese citizenship, which means they are eligible to play for either country.

Both Fabio and Rafael have already represented Brazil at Under-15 and Under-17 level, but as they have yet to play for the senior side there is still a slim chance they could play for Portugal.

Certainly Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz is one man who is hoping the Da Silva twins will decide their futures lie with his team.

Sir Alex Ferguson was impressed by Fabio in the Spurs match on Saturday night, and can't wait to see more of them!

"The da Silva brothers have got great temperament to play. They’ve got a winning mentality. Like Rafael, Fabio loves playing and loves training, the enthusiasm is always there. Confidence is something that those twins definitely aren’t lacking!

"Since they arrived they have been absolutely fantastic. Fabio has been a bit unlucky with injuries, but he’s definitely one for the future.”
