FABIO DA SILVA
Player rating: 8.33
Team score: Nantes 1–0 Montpellier
Individual highlights: 6 tackles, 5 aerials won
"
I was intimidated when I arrived at Man Utd, a 16-year-old boy, surrounded by all these great stars.
I was also hit by injuries, in the end I never reached the height expected of me. I was happy to move on to France, to play in a new country; the Ligue 1 may not compare to the Premier League in terms of organisation but Nantes is a beautiful city and this is a homely club. I feel settled here."

"
I went to Man Utd too early.
I was 21 back then, now I'm 25 so obviously I'm more mature, my mental state is different. Of course the Premier League and Ligue 1 are also different in nature, the English game is tough and a lot about speed and transition whereas in France there's more emphasis on technique and control."
