Manchester United full-back Fábio: 'I will miss Rafael'

Manchester United full-back Fábio da Silva has admitted the hardest thing about a potential loan-move next season will be leaving twin-brother Rafael for the first-time.

Fábio, 21, has struggled to get regular first-team action at Old Trafford and has been advised to go out on-loan next season - most likely to Benfica.

  • Fabio happy with Benfica option
  • Benfica could loan United full-back Fabio
  • Sir Alex - Fabio will return a better player

    • "It's so, so hard," Fábio told MUTV. "It's very, very difficult for me and my brother as well but this is life.

    "I have to play more games to improve my football and it's why I think it's better for me and for him as well.

    "I had a good start and played a lot of games in the Champions League but, at the end, I've not played in many games. But it's okay and we go to the next season."
