FABIO’S loan switch to Benfica has hit a snag — with QPR keen to step in to land the Manchester United defender.
The Brazilian full-back looked to be on his way to the Portuguese giants for next season.
But Benfica have claimed Fabio, 21, has made a U-turn and wants to stay in the Premier League.
Fabio believes regular first-team football in England will boost his long-term chances at Old Trafford.
And the news has alerted QPR boss Mark Hughes, who wants to bring him to Loftus Road on a season-long loan deal.
