Premier League duo keen on Manchester United's Rafael?

Manchester United right-back Rafael is reportedly a transfer target of two mystery Premier League clubs.

Two unnamed Premier League clubs have reportedly made Manchester United full-back Rafael one of their main summer transfer targets.

Recent speculation has suggested that the Brazilian, who has just 12 months left to run on his contract at Old Trafford, has been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Louis van Gaal.

That has supposedly alerted Italian duo Napoli and Fiorentina, as well as Turkish side Galatasaray.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, the 24-year-old could yet remain in England, with a pair of mystery top-flight sides having expressed their interest in his services.

Rafael has made over 150 appearances for the Red Devils since his arrival from Fluminense in 2008.
