Manchester United defender Fabio da Silva has signed a season-long loan with Queens Park Rangers.
The Brazilian full-back, who can play on either side of the back four, has played 53 first-team matches for the Red Devils.
The 21-year-old's arrival has been hailed by Rangers boss Mark Hughes.
"It's a great opportunity for us to loan a good, young player, who has decent experience of playing for a top club like Manchester United,'' he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"He's played a lot of senior games for United, so it shows the quality he's got.
"I know they think very highly of him and we believe he has all the attributes to be a success here next season.
"First and foremost, he's a good defender. He's got great enthusiasm as well, and just like his brother, he's a top professional.
"We can give him the games he's craving at this stage of his career, so it benefits everybody.
"He's very versatile - he can play left or right-back and he's also been utilised in midfield by Sir Alex (Ferguson) in the past, so we know what we're getting, and that's a very good player.''
