Rafael has ended an eight-year stay in English football which saw him win three Premier League titles
Former
Manchester United right-back Rafael da Silva took to Instagram to bid
an emotional farewell to the club's fans before completing a move Lyon
for a fee thought to be in the region of £2.5million.
The
25-year-old Brazil international leaves Old Trafford after eight
seasons and has agreed a four-year-contract with the Ligue 1 giants.
Rafael
had found his first-team opportunities limited under the management of
Louis van Gaal and the summer signing of Italian right-back Matteo
Darmian made it clear that his place in the United squad was far from
assured.

Alongside
a collage of some of his favourite United moments, Rafael wrote, 'I
want to thank Manchester United fans for all the love during those 8
years. Since I signed with the club I lived incredible moments, after
all it was 8 years wearing the shirt of one of the biggest clubs of the
world.'
He added, 'Thank you
United Kingdom, I learned a lot in this country, as a player, and no
doubt as a human being, lessons that I will keep for the rest of my
life. Thank you Sir Alex Ferguson for always believing in my work and
for all the doors that you opened up to me. Now it's a new path, a new
challenge, God bless me!'
