Fergie: United's new Brazilian twins have a bright future at Old Trafford
Rafael Da Silva in action for Manchester United at Peterbrough
Sir Alex Ferguson believes his new Brazilian twins will have a bright future at Manchester United.
Right-back Rafael Da Silva played in the whole of United's friendly win at Peterborough on Monday.
And his twin Fabio played 45 minutes, replacing Patrice Evra on the other side of United's defence.
Ferguson said: 'The young players were fantastic and young Rafael the right-back was a sensation for me.
'I thought it was a real eye opener for us. He hadn't played for a year but he's played a full 90 minutes.
'His brother Fabio has played 45 minutes and he's also done well so we're really pleased by their contribution.
Asked whether Rafael could be on the way to a place in the first team, Ferguson said: 'You know what football's like. Sometimes it turns up some star, some little nugget maybe.
'I think we have got a good player here.'
European champions United continue their preparations for the new season with a high-profile friendly against Juventus tonight at Old Trafford.
They then take on Portsmouth in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, before a Premier League opener against Newcastle on August 17.
