Raphinha would want to join a club where he can compete at the highest level and fight for big trophies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If Manchester United fail to qualify for next season&#8217;s Champions League, it will be difficult to recruit top-level players.

He can help improve Manchester United. However, it will be interesting to see how the Red Devils accommodate him into the starting lineup. He finished 4th in the 2025 Ballon d&#8217;Or rankings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He plays a role similar to Mateus Cunha. Manchester United are unlikely to let the Brazilian go after signing him from Wolves at the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_could_use_Raphinha\"><\/span>Manchester United could use Raphinha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/man-city-barcelona-raphinha-1-2048x1365.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FC Barcelona&#8217;s Rafinha celebrates after scoring his team&#8217;s fifth goal in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.
