Reds impress Brown

Wes Brown has echoed his boss's comments about the current United side, claiming it's "right up there" among the best he's played in.

On the day United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 on Sunday, Sir Alex Ferguson told United Review the side he'd assembled could be as good as any he's been in charge of during his 21-year Old Trafford reign.

Manchester-born Wes Brown, who made his United debut in 1998, wholeheartedly agrees.

"This side is right up there with the best," Brown told MUTV. "The lads are all enjoying themselves and we have a good mix. We have young lads, senior players and new signings who are really standing out. That's what the gaffer wanted them to do and they're producing good form."

With so much top talent at the club, it's inevitable some players will be disappointed come matchday. Youngsters like Danny Simpson and Gerard Pique have been performing admirably when called upon, but there was no room for either defender in Sir Alex's squad that faced Blackburn on Sunday.

"The manager has some difficult decisions to make but I think those who missed out on Sunday will be delighted to have played in recent games. I'm sure they understand that they're just coming into the team and they'll have a bigger role to play in the future."
