Márcio Nuno Ornelas Abreu (born 25 April 1980 in Funchal, Madeira) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for FC Krasnodar in Russian Premier League, as a winger.

Football career

After arriving in 1999 at hometown's C.S. Marítimo to finish his football formation, Abreu never settled in its first team, constantly boucing between the main squad and the reserves. In 2004, he was released and signed with neighbours A.D. Camacha, in division three, the same as Marítimo B.

Abreu signed in the 2007 summer with Bulgarian side PSFC Chernomorets Burgas, being regularly used during his three 1/2-season spell with the club. In February 2011, he was transferred to Russian side FC Krasnodar, freshly promoted to the Premier League.

On 6 February 2011, Abreu played his first game for his new club, playing the first 72 minutes in the 2–2 friendly draw with Ukraine's SC Tavriya Simferopol. His first official appearance came exactly one month later, against FC Amkar Perm for the season's Russian Cup (120 minutes played, 1–0 win); his league debut occurred six days later, in a 0–0 draw at FC Anzhi Makhachkala.

On 10 June 2011, Abreu scored his first goal for Krasnodar, in a 3–1 away win against FC Rostov.
