Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson reckons Brazilian defender Rafael will be a better player for his tough clash with Ronaldinho in the San Siro on Tuesday. Ronaldinho gave the 19-year-old right back a torrid time but the Reds boss says the player will be all the better for it. [LNB] "Ronaldinho has always had a great talent. His game dropped away for a year or so, but he is back to his best now and he was a handful for a young player like Rafael," said Fergie. [LNB] "The reason I played him was quite simple, though. Namely, that we have invested in a great future with him and we were not going to stop the rewards of that because we were playing AC Milan. [LNB] "He has to learn and, against Ronaldinho, he will have quickly discovered that this is the real world. [LNB] "He made some mistakes, but he won't make them next season. He will eradicate those mistakes because the boy is an outstanding talent." What do you think? Have your say. [LNB]
