Former Manchester United fan favorites Fabio and Rafael da Silva have shared their picks for the current stars they most admire at Old Trafford, with one backing a specific player for a historic achievement.

The Brazilian twins, who joined the club as teenagers in 2008, became beloved figures for their passion and tenacity in defense. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, they quickly adapted to the Premier League's demands, with Rafael making an immediate impact and Fabio battling through injuries and stiff competition to earn his place.

Now, looking at the current squad, the brothers have clear favorites. Rafael didn't hesitate: "For me, it’s Bruno Fernandes by far, I just love him. He’s going to do it." He's referring to the Premier League assists record; Fernandes is just three assists away from matching the 20-assist milestone held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.

Fabio, showing pride in his roots, leaned toward the Brazilian contingent: "I like Casemiro and I like [Matheus] Cunha. I think Cunha has a strong mentality for the game, I really like [him]."

Both brothers expressed immense pride in their legacy, feeling they helped pave the way for future Brazilians at the Theatre of Dreams. Fabio reflected, "Every time you have a Brazilian there, I love it... It makes me think about the past as well, when we played there." Rafael echoed this sentiment, noting the pipeline of Brazilian talent that followed their arrival.
