Wes Brown could quit Manchester United on a free at the end of the
season.
The England defender's contract expires this summer and he is keen
to secure his long-term future at Old Trafford.
But while talks over a new deal are ongoing, Sunderland, Newcastle
and Manchester City are wating to pounce.
Brown is hoping for an offer of around £50,000 a week and unless
agreement is reached United could lose a player valued at around
£6million.
Meanwhile United and
Arsenal are set to lock horns over Argentina's Angel Di
Maria.
The midfielder, 19, was poised to join the Gunners in the summer
but the move broke down and he signed for Benfica instead.
He is now keen on a January move to Old Trafford and said: "It has
always been my dream to join United."
