Summary
Manchester United fan favourites, Fabio and Rafael da Silva join the UTD Podcast this week, in a particularly international episode. Fabio joined from his home in France, while Rafael dialled in from the training pitch in Brazil.
The twins looked back on their eventful years together at Old Trafford; Cristiano Ronaldo calling them up before they signed for the club, Rafael scoring a screamer at Anfield, Fabio starting a Champions League Final - and much more.
The Brazilians revealed they had different approaches to their start at Manchester United; Rafael felt confident straight away, but Fabio struggled with the nerves and anxiety that playing for such a big club can bring.
Sam, Helen and Maysie also read out your emails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk

| 0:00.0 | Hi, guys. Before we get started with this week's episode, we just have a little bit of news for you. |
| 0:05.0 | Oh, yes. |
| 0:06.0 | We do. The news is that we don't have a dedicated section on the official man-chestinated app just for our podcast. |

| 0:14.0 | We know what you're thinking. |
| 0:15.0 | Why should I move my favorite podcast app all the way over to New York? |
| 0:19.0 | Well, two reasons. |
| 0:20.0 | Reason one is that you will get the podcast a whole 24 hours earlier. |
| 0:24.0 | And it's a really good reason. |
| 0:26.0 | That's 24 hours earlier than everywhere else. |
| 0:28.0 | And you can be first in line to hear every new episode. |
| 0:31.0 | Yeah, and reason number two is it allows us to bring you so much more than just the episode. |
| 0:34.0 | So if we talk about goals, you'll be able to see the goals within the app. |
| 0:37.0 | And you'll also see it associated articles and something a lot of people have requested. |
| 0:41.0 | You'll be able to watch more episodes of the podcast all in one place, which to me seems sensational. |
| 0:46.0 | But if you're not convinced and want to stay where you are, that's fine too. |
| 0:49.0 | We'll still bring you our pods right here every week as usual. |
| 0:53.0 | Right here, right now. |
| 0:55.0 | But also, if you're on the app, you won't have to sit through or is telling you always every time. |
