Rafael is keen to sit down with Manchester United officials to discuss the renewal of his contract, The Insider understands.
The Brazilian, who has emerged as the Red Devils' first-choice right-back with his performances over the last couple of years, is looking to open talks over a new deal with less than two years remaining on his current contract.
United and manager Louis van Gaal are in no rush to thrash out a new and improved set of terms for the 24-year-old although they will not allow the full-back to run down his contract.
Despite having made over 100 appearances since joining the club back in 2008, Van Gaal remains unconvinced by the former Fluminense star and is not sure he is the long-term solution at right-back.
And with rumours surfacing linking Barcelona defender Dani Alves with a summer move, it remains a crucial 2014-15 campaign for the Brazilian to prove his worth at Old Trafford and earn a new deal in the process.
