Footballer Wes Brown is to fly home on
Wednesday from Manchester United's tour of South Africa following
the death of his pregnant sister, the club says.
Brown played in United's 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates on Tuesday
but will skip the final match of their tour. <!-- E SF

"The boy wanted to play and will now go home to take up the
family duties," said United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
"It is a very difficult one to advise someone on. Only the
person themselves can really make that decision."
The death of his sister is a further blow to Brown after his
father, Bancroft, died in February.<!-- E BO -->
