Wes Brown is fully prepared to fight to regain his first-team
place from fellow defender Nemanja Vidic.
Brown started the first six of United's matches this season, but
since then Serbian international Vida has been given the nod for
the last three matches against Reading, Benfica and
Newcastle.
But, Brown hasnt lost heart and says he will be ready whenever
needed by Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
I started a few games at the start of the season but I havent
started since we lost to Arsenal, he said. But Im just going to
carry on going.
You give everything in training, but you want to be out there on
the field for the matches. Im not injured, which is a good thing!
Im just trying to play well in training and win my place back in
the team.
The team winning is the main thing, but my chance to get back in
will come. There is competition for places and there will be a
point where I am needed. Its just a matter of taking it when it
comes. But Ill be ready whenever the manager needs me.
The 26-year-old is prepared to be patient for his chance to come,
whether it is because the manager decides to call on him or needs
to, to replace an injured or rested player.
Thats usually the case, he said. There are always players there
ready to come in. You dont want injuries to happen, but if they do
I think we have good cover in all positions at the back.
