By Promise Amadi
French side Nantes have completed the signing of Former Manchester Untied defender Fabio da Silva from Middlesbrough on a three-year deal.

After starting his career at Fluminense, the 28-year-old full-back broke through at Old Trafford in 2008-09 under Alex Ferguson but made only 23 Premier League appearances for United before signing for Cardiff City in January 2014.

Cardiff were relegated to the Championship at the end of that season and Fabio went on to be a regular in the Bluebirds’ back four until he secured a move back to the Premier League with Middlesbrough in 2016.
