New deal for Fabio

Brazilian full-back Fabio da Silva has signed an extension to his contract with Manchester United, keeping him at the Club until at least June 2014.

The 20 year-old, who has made thirteen appearances for the first team is seen as a highly promising prospect by manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. He said:

“Fabio has settled into the Club really well. He’s a natural footballer; a player who has good pace, reads the game well for a boy of his age and is always looking to attack. He’s had some bad luck with injuries, but he’ll make a fine Manchester United player in the years to come."

Fabio da Silva said:

“Playing for Manchester United is every young player’s dream. I’m very happy and proud to commit my future to the Club. In the time I’ve been here, I’ve learned a lot from the world class players that I train with and I hope that as time goes on, I can contribute more and more to the success of this great club.”
