The Premier League champions have agreed to send out the talented Brazilian on loan after a lack of game time begun to hamper his progress at Old Trafford.
Brazil’s answer to the Neville brothers, better known as the Da Silva twins have been regular features for the Red Devils ever since their arrival in Manchester.
Out of the two, Rafael is arguably more talented and than his sibling but his short temper has often got him into the wrong situations.
Fabio, though, is much more mellowed and although possesses the skills to become one of the best full-backs in the world, has stunted his potential at the helm.
With the arrival of the versatile http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has had many options at the back and has chosen to rotate them in order to maintain freshness. A number of players have been tried out at right-back, which is the only position in the team which
does not have an undisputed starter.
While Rafael and Fabio often took the pitch in this role last season, this time around things have been quite different with new recruits.
Jones and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling have churned out decent displays while at that position and Fergie has favoured them both when it comes to naming his starting eleven.
Rafael has been out for the majority of the campaign due to injury but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 despite being fit hasn't had many chances to impress the boss.
In order to allow him to continue his development, the Red Devils are looking to farm him out next term so that he can get regular playing time.
“I hope that Fabio will develop in the same way as his twin, Rafael,” he said.
“To help him, he will go out on loan next season to give him concentrated first-team experience.”
“I have already talked to him and he understands the value of playing regularly at a higher level than we can give him at the moment.”
While details of where the Selecao International will be heading haven’t been revealed, according to media reports, United might send him to Benfica, in a player plus cash deal for Nicolas Gaitan.
