Rafael and Fabio Silva- Brazillian Twins

nava_31 · 01-17-2008, 08:07 PM

I know there are a few articles about the Brazilian twins but here are some video links from youtube for us to watch!

The main thing that strikes me is that Fabio seems good with his head

What does everyone think about these lads? It seems to me that they are highly rated but Fabio more so than Rafael

UNITED are closing on the signing of Brazilian identical twins Fabio and Rafael Silva from Fluminense.

The 17-year-old Brazilian youth internationals are both full-backs, prompting comparisons with Neville brothers, and are poised to join in a £5.2m deal.

The duo signed pre-contract agreements in July 2006 after they had impressed Sir Alex Ferguson playing in a youth tournament in Hong Kong, report The Times. They are set to arrive in Manchester on Monday.

IDENTICAL twins Fabio and Rafael Silva are dreaming of following the new crop of Brazilians making a big impact in Europe.

The 17-year-old duo are due in England on Monday from Fluminense but will have to wait before making their Reds debuts.

But, having seen the likes of Anderson at United and Alexandre Pato at AC Milan, the pair are keen to make an impact.

"After eight visits to Manchester United, we will travel to live in England," said right back Rafael.

"In the last two years we went there about every three months, we stayed for 10 days and then returned to Fluminense.

"This time we will have the whole family - father, mother and my older brother's wife - with us."

Compatriot Anderson will no doubt also help them to adapt to their new life.

"We know there are Brazilians of our age doing well," adds Rafael.

"Anderson is our friend and we talk to Lucas at Liverpool.

Sensation

"But the greatest example for us is Alexandre Pato. Who knows, perhaps we can follow the same path as The Duck?"

Pato is AC Milan's new sensation, scoring on his Serie A debut against Napoli.

United's new South Americans haven't been selected for Fluminense's first team.

"The club feared we could be hurt," added Fabio. "We would have preferred to play.

"But there was also the fear that the fans would have wanted us to stay.

"We have just continued to train - but it is a pity we have not had the chance to play in Rio as professionals."

Fabio is Brazil's Under-17 captain but hopes to join Pato in his country's Olympic squad for Beijing.

"I will only have been in training for six months, without a game at Manchester United and at the most I will have played a few friendlies.

"This will probably remove me from the Brazilian team, though Dunga has praised me and his assistant has already talked to me about the Olympics."

Other brothers to play for United over the years include George and Martin Buchan, Jimmy and Brian Greenhoff, and Pat and Tony Dunne.

And Carlos Tevez's teenage brother, Miguel, had a trial at Carrington last year.

thanks for the vids mate. Fabio looks a real talent.

having identical twins in the same team might be handy. We might be able to get away with a halftime substitution without anyone noticing.

Thank you for the videos.

Not too much defending from them

, but they are so young and obviously talented.

Hopefully under the guidance of Fergie and CQ they will develop into forces of nature.
