I dont know, I feel like this year's transfer market has been full of surprises.
Well, I wish him the best of luck!

@ashwin, agreed mate. We should've kept him because he is about to enter the prime of his career. Don't understand why we're selling so low, especially since his market value is 4x what Lyon paid.

Ten times better than Valencia, younger and probably with a lower wage as well... He was a decent player for the squad and gave his best during his 8 years at the club. We are losing all the SAF base players and that is sad..

@TheGame: I don't understand this either. Considering he's entering his prime, this move does not make sense unless he has had an argument with van Gaal.
@Tuanis: Valencia actually performed well last year. I wouldn't say 10x better, but after watching Valencia play last year, I'd say they're both the same. But Rafael does provide that spark when you're going forward.
@TheGame & Tuanis: I think LVG is trying to make this his team, and put a stamp on it. So he is selling all Fergie's players, as they're used to the Fergie philosophy. Only players he kept are Rooney and Carrick, which he knows are extremely hard to replace.

Both Da Silva brothers gone now, end of an era.

Exactly guys, we should have kept him. LVG is building his new empire which I understand he has his favourites. But seeing those great players leaving is so sad.
@Tuanis: I agree, he's better than Valencia and cheaper
Well,
As predicted, Rafael's day in Manchester United has come to an end. The Brazilian full-back will move to Lyon in a (reportedly) £2.5 million, he signed a 4 years deal.
Rafael was one of the youngster found by Sir. Alex (Fluminense in 2008) and had evolved a lot since then, he was still used by Moyes, but played NO part in Luis van Gaal's future plan. Especially we bought the Italian Matteo Darmian. Last year he only played 6 games. He has played in total 170 games and scored 5 goals.
Anyway, for me he was great, a bit clumsy at time but always fought with his heart.
Best of luck, and thank you for your service, mate!
