Ferguson - Rafael is my first choice now.
-
SIR ALEX FERGUSON claims Gary Neville and Wes Brown are still England's best right-backs — but their days as his first choice are over.
Neville and Brown have been left in the shadows at Manchester United this season due to the emergence of Brazilian starlet Rafael Da Silva.
And Sir Alex admits the 18-year-old has already shown he has what it takes to be a regular for years to come at Old Trafford.
The United boss said: "Gary and Wes are England's best right full-backs.
"But they have a little problem because this young boy Rafael has really taken off."
Although Fergie has made it clear that Neville and Brown are unlikely to dislodge Rafael any time soon, he insists they are both happy to see their team-mate flourishing.
The Scot added: "All the players, Gary included, are so supportive of him. They think he is fantastic.
"It is rare for someone to come through like he has done.
"When Gary did it, he had help. He was among six or seven young players all together, like a band of brothers.
"This lad doesn't speak the language that well but he understands the football very well."

Poor Wes, he's improved so much.
-
Yeah. Sad for him

Brown is still the reliable choice lah if he is fit... Fergie sometimes say things to encourage his players especially the young ones and you can see Rafael has very good potential but still not there yet... He may be good and going forward he is also very impressive but in his main duty, defending... he is still not consistent and he don't have the height to cut out crosses and in-swinging from the other side... Another thing is he still don't have the physical strength to take on bigger strikers like Heskey, Drogba or Hull's King... But he will learn and the experience he gathers now will become useful when Brown reach 31 or 32... He still need to build-up on his physical part like Evra... By then, he will be fully ready to take over...

I think can try Chong Pang, Yishun(near the OCBC Bank there). It's like some normal store in a neighbourhood. Last time I went there, I saw the Man Utd jersey selling at $90
