Rafael says the goal he scored against Liverpool on Sunday was his best for Manchester United, while he was delighted to come away from Anfield with three points.

United were below their best on an emotional afternoon following the recent report into the Hillsborough disaster, and Rafael was pleased to prevail 2-1. "Both clubs have a great history and we had to respect that, then we got the three points, which is so good for us," said the Brazilian. "It wasn't a great performance from us but in the last five years we haven't won here so we're very pleased. "Robin van Persie had to wait a long time to take his penalty. It might make some people anxious but he is a top player and he found the net."
