Manchester United fullback Rafael is eager to take a leadership role at the club.
He may be just 24, but Rafael thinks he has an important role to play in helping United's recent academy graduates and new signings settle in to the first-team squad.
"When I first came here, I saw how a lot of players helped me like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes," Rafael told United Uncovered.
"Gary Neville, even though he played in my position, helped me a lot because he was one of the best right-backs in the world.
"I want to do the same when I see some young players come in. Sometimes it's difficult so my job is to try to help them.
"Before, I saw some players arriving, foreign players, and they just cannot understand anything and I was exactly the same.
"Sometimes, I still want to say: 'What are they saying?' It's so hard and I try to help them because I know how difficult that is."
