Fabio makes Hoops move

Queens Park Rangers have secured the signing of Fabio on-loan for the upcoming season from Manchester United.

The Brazilian has seen his first-team opportunities limited at Old Trafford following his arrival in 2008.

The 21-year-old will now move to Loftus Road in order to gain experience and manager Mark Hughes is delighted with the deal.

"It's a great opportunity for us to loan a good, young player, who has decent experience of playing for a top club like Manchester United," Hughes told the club’s official website.

"He's played a lot of senior games for United, so it shows the quality he's got.

"I know they think very highly of him and we believe he has all the attributes to be a success here next season.

"First and foremost, he's a good defender. He's got great enthusiasm as well, and just like his brother, he's a top professional.

"We can give him the games he's craving at this stage of his career, so it benefits everybody.

"He's very versatile - he can play left or right-back and he's also been utilised in midfield by Sir Alex (Ferguson) in the past, so we know what we're getting, and that's a very good player."
