Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Fabio will leave Manchester United on loan next season.
The 21-year-old has made only one Premier League appearance this year, mainly featuring in the United reserve team.
He understands the value of playing regularly at a higher level than we can give him at the moment, Sir Alex told United Review.
I hope that Fabio will develop the same way as his twin (Rafael).
Opportunities for the young left-back have been further restricted by the form of Patrice Evra and several injuries.
His 14 appearances have come mainly in the League Cup and Champions League this season.
The Da Silva twins moved to Manchester from Fluminense (without having played in the Brazilian club s first-team) in January 2008, but w…
It was clear when the draw was completed that Group C would hog the limelight during the early stages of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
With Algeria having reached the World Cup knockout phase, many are tipping them to top the group. However, they will not have things all their own way given the wealth of competition provided by four-time champions Ghana, Senegal and 1996 winners South Africa.

Under Vahid Halilhodzic, Algeria were one of the star turns of the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. Their 4-2 win over South Korea and courageous draw in the high-stakes decider with Russia led the north African nation to the knockout rounds for the first time.

Ivan Rakitić s current contract with Barcelona was signed in March 2017 and it s set to run until the summer of 2021. However, last summer there was strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain in his services, and as a result, he demanded a new deal at Nou Camp, one that would see his wages rise significantly.
There have been talks during the season, but no new deal has so far been put on the table and Jordi Mestre has indicated that there wouldn t be one either.
Speaking to Sky Sports, as relayed by , the Barcelona vice-president said that they were very happy with the 31-year-old Croatia international and his contribution, and suggested that they wouldn t be offering him a new deal because he s already got one, which also implies that he wouldn t be allowed to leave eit…
Carlo Ancelotti says children have to pursue the dreams they have when asked about a comic book detailing Kylian Mbappe s love of Real Madrid in his teenage years.
In the autobiographical comic, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe recalls a visit to Los Blancos Valdebebas training ground as a 14-year-old where he met his heroes Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The publishing of the story has only exacerbated rumours Mbappe will make the move to the Spanish capital, having been the subject of an unsuccessful deadline-day bid in the previous transfer window.
Mbappe is out of contract at the end of the season and has been largely tipped with signing a pre-contract agreement with Madrid, who are top of LaLiga.
Asked about Mbappe and the comic, Ancelott…

Desperate to find some much-needed stability this weekend, Manchester City will welcome Arsenal to the Etihad on Saturday evening.
Manchester City
Starting with the hosts, eventually having to settle for a point against Premier League returners Leeds prior to the international break in what was a thrilling 1-1 draw at Elland Road, Manchester City have really struggled to find their feet since opening the 2020/2021 campaign. While Pep Guardiola s men might have marked their return to domestic duties with a 3-1 victory away at Wolves, that was the Sky Blues only win from their opening three appearances. With some in their squad likely to have still been feeling the effects of their famous 5-2 drumming at the hands of Leicester on home …
Rangers boosted their Scottish Premiership title hopes as Cyriel Dessers strike earned a narrow 2-1 win over St. Mirren at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday.
Rangers were ahead with 32 minutes played as Zach Hemming failed to deal with a cross before James Bolton inadvertently put through his own net under pressure from Dessers.
But St. Mirren hit back just five minutes later as Mikael Mandron nodded goalwards, with the ball flying just past the fingertips of Jack Butland before going in off the post to send the teams into the break level.
Rangers needed a response in the second half, and they got exactly that with 18 minutes left to play as Dessers was left with far too much space in the middle to head James Tavernier s cross into the back of the net.
The host…
Dragan Stojkovic was made to rue Serbia s injury problems after their defeat by Brazil, believing they could have mounted a greater challenge with a fully-fit squad.
The Eagles went down 2-0 against the five-time World Cup winners in their opening match at the finals, with Richarlison s second-half double settling the Group F clash at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.
Having just returned from a foot injury, Aleksandar Mitrovic failed to register a single shot on goal, while Dusan Vlahovic appeared from the bench after recently recovering from a groin problem, and winger Filip Kostic was an unused substitute due to muscular issues.
Stojkovic believes his side felt the consequences of having three key players lacking fitness.
One of the factors [in Serbia s perf…
