Manchester United defender Wes Brown wants to stay at Old
Trafford for his entire career. The England international remains
on the fringes of Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad, having had
spells both in and out of the starting line-up.
Brown spent much of the middle part of this season warming the Red
Devils bench and reports suggested the 28-year-old could leave
United. But the stopper, who has one year remaining on his current
deal, would be happy to sign a new long-term contract.
"I have been at Manchester United since I was a kid and I always
want to be here," he said. "A lot of people have asked me about my
future but that was just because I wasn't playing for a certain
stage of the season. "If you are not getting selected, it is normal
for people to start talking. But I just get on with it. I am
playing now and everything is fine. "When you look at this last
week, winning the title and now the Cup final, it shows why you
want to be at a club like this."
Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are currently locks in the centre
of Manchester United's defence and Brown accepts those two have to
be picked above him. "You have to play them because they have had
such a great season together," he said. "They are the backbone of
what we have achieved this year and you have to give them credit
for that. "But it doesn't affect the way I approach things. I am a
Manchester United player and every time I am selected, I will try
my heart out."
