Wes Brown says talk that he could leave Manchester United
over the summer is 'rubbish'.
The defender has never truly established himself as a regular in
the United line-up and is aware of his status in Sir Alex
Ferguson's squad.
He has been linked with a move to another Premier League club, but
insists he has never considered leaving Old Trafford.
"Talk about me leaving this summer was rubbish really," Brown told
the club's official website.
"I love being a Manchester United player and I have never thought
about going anywhere else.
"There is always competition for places here. We have brought in
some more new faces and the team is looking young and good. It will
be great to be involved this season."
The England international also feels quitting the champions would
be a step down and he would 'dread' discussing a move away from his
only club.
He added: "Throughout my career I've always been a squad player.
The manager knows he can pick me and I can do a good job, so I'm
very happy here.
"Leaving United is a conversation I would dread to have with the
gaffer. I love playing for United.
"It's my home town, so I'm just glad to still be here after all the
injuries I've had. Leaving would be a step down."
