Manchester United defender Rafael is targeting glory on all fronts next season under new manager David Moyes.

In an interview with Inside United, the Brazilian, 22, says he sees no reason why anything at the club will alter despite the change in management.

"Once we arrive back here for pre-season, the focus will be on winning the league again and also the Champions League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup," he said.

"It's been a long time since we won the FA Cup so we should be really focused to win this trophy again."

Rafael is also confident that Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy will live on at Old Trafford thanks to the young squad he assembled growing in experience.

"If you see all the players now, we are starting to get mature, he said. "We were young - me, [Phil] Jones, Chris Smalling, [David] De Gea, [Danny] Welbeck - we were all young. Now we are getting towards the age of 24 or 25 and that's a good age. We need to improve every day."
