15/04/2012 00:35, Report by Adam Marshall Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Fabio is set to leave the club on loan next season.  The Brazilian defender has had a couple of outings at Reserves level recently but has made only one Barclays Premier League appearance this year – as a second-half substitute for Patrice Evra in the 5-0 win at Wolves. The manager is wary that the 21-year-old needs regular football at this stage of his career and is willing to farm him out to another club in time for the 2012/2013 campaign.
