Manchester United are set to be
boosted by the return of defender Wes Brown.
United chief Sir Alex Ferguson admitted last week he was
desperate to have the England star back in his squad.
He suggested Brown could feature in the reserve team clash at
Preston on Monday, and he did indeed play - getting through an hour
at Deepdale without any problems.
Now Brown, who has not played for the first-team since November
because of a foot problem, is ready to return to the first-team
fold.
Wednesday's clash with Portsmouth at Old Trafford looks like
being too soon for Brown - but he could be in line for a place in
the squad at the weekend when they face Tottenham.
