Rafael da Silva’s most memorable Sir Alex Ferguson moment was just after Manchester United had lost the Premier League title on goal difference to their city rivals in 2012. Fergie told the players to remember how the loss felt, and indeed United came back to win the league the next season. Sir Alex understood Rafa and got inside his head.

Also in part two, there’s chat about scoring at Anfield – Rafa’s favourite goal, playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and against Lionel Messi, and how Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s United can win the title this season. And you will hear what it’s like to come up against Kylian Mbappé, who accelerates like a Ferrari and has more trickery than a magician.

Enjoy
