Cassiano Pereira: "Very likely" Fabio and Rafael will leave Manchester United

The agent of Manchester United defenders Fabio and Rafael da Silva has claimed that it is "very likely" the pair will move in the summer.

Fabio has struggled to break into the side at left-back, but his twin brother has established himself as an important member of the United team on the opposite flank.

However, according to the players' representative Cassiano Pereira, the brothers are odds-on to leave Old Trafford in the summer.

He told Calciomercato: "At the moment I can say that they will remain in Manchester until the end of the season, but in the summer it is very likely that they can go.

"I do not know anything about these rumours [about the pair leaving this month]."

United are currently seventh in the Premier League.
