Fabio eyeing Man Utd exit

Manchester United defender Fabio admits he may have to find another club in order to allow his career to flourish.

The 23-year old Brazilian full-back is struggling to force his way into United's first team after returning from his loan spell at QPR last season and has revealed he is considering a possible return to former club Fluminense.

"I don't know. I think the time has come and maybe in the next window or even next season, I think I might leave. There are good possibilities," he said.

"I'm looking for other clubs. There's nothing certain, we'll leave it for later.

"I want to be happy. I want to play, I want to be close to my family. I may go back to Brazil, or maybe not, I'm checking with my manager to see what is the best for me.

"The affection I have for Fluminense is very big, for sure. I played there for seven years, and certainly if I have to go back to Fluminense I'm going with great pride because I have a special affection for them."
