The Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio seem to be frustrated at the lack of game time this season and are very likely to leave Manchester United in the summer, says their agent Cassiano Pereira.
The two full-backs joined Manchester United in 2008 but they have not been able to reach their full potential at United. While Rafael did have a great season last term and became an integral part of Sir Alex Ferguson's starting XI, Fabio could never break into the first team. He was either warming the bench or sent out on loan.
With FIFA World Cup 2014 scheduled to start in another five months time, Rafael and Fabio are considering a move away from Old Trafford to resurrect their playing career and get more appearances for the national team.
Their agent confirmed this and said, "At the moment I can say that they will remain in Manchester until the end of the season, but in summer it is very likely that they can go."
It will be interesting to see if Moyes allows his two full-backs to leave at the same time because Patrice Evra is very likely to leave United in summer. If he loses all three full-backs at the same time, whom is he going to recruit to fill in those positions? What do you think?

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 has made thirteen appearances for the first team since joining United from Brazilian club Fluminense along with twin brother Rafael in July 2008. He is seen as a highly promising prospect by 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.
On extending his stay at Old Trafford, 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.
John O'Shea will be out of action for two months due to a thigh injury. He hasn’t featured for Manchester United since November, when he suffered the injury described as a "dead leg" during Ireland's controversial World Cup play-off in Paris.
O'Shea is regarded as the most versatile player for Manchester United by Sir Alex Ferguson. He has been one of Fergie’s favorite players due to his high degree of adaptability. He can play in defense as well as midfield and has also scored crucial goals for the Red Devils.
The Irishman who made his debut in October 1999 has made 352 appearances for Manchester United. O’Shea completed ten years at Old Trafford two months back and this is his first injury at the club. His absence for two months will mean more problems for United in the defense.
Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown have returned to guard the central defense but missing out Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans hurts. And now John O'Shea too joins the injury list. In John’s case, blood had congealed in his thigh while playing against France and is making a slower than expected recovery.
We may be able to see O’Shea back in March but the return of Rafael and Fabio is a big boost. At least Fergie can now field a recognizable back-four. I hope Rio and Jonny return to training soon since we are approaching an important part of the year with Champions League and Cup matches getting more competitive.

Brazilian brothers Fabio and Rafael Da Silva may be rushed back by Sir Alex Ferguson into his Manchester United line-up for a trip to Hull today. The teenage duo have both been away due to shoulder problems since summer and may feature today in United's defense.
With Chelsea managing only a draw against Birmingham yesterday, United have a good chance to reduce the lead at the top to two points if they are able to crush Hull. Phil Brown's men have not been in their best form this season but as United's defensive problems continue, I feel anyone can beat the champions.
Last week, Fulham took complete advantage of Manchester United's make shift defense and thrashed the Red Devils 3-0. Though Fergie did not show his disappointment, but he probably has had enough. He will definitely name Fabio and Rafael Da Silva in the starting eleven. Fergie is also hopeful for the return of Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic.
I hope Man United seal their victory today with ease as Hull does not have anybody who is physically strong in the box. Last week's trip to Fulham was a bit different as Zamora and Duff were both strong and fast for United to react. And with long-term casualties for Hull in the form of Jimmy Bullard and Ian Ashbee, Phil Brown must be wondering how do I take advantage of United's weak defense. I hope he doesn't!
