Brown’s recovery boosts United

WES BROWN could be back in Manchester United’s colours at the beginning of next month. The 24-year-old defender different is now doing “bits of training” as he continues his recovery after damaging knee ligaments.

Brown suffered the injury on the final day of last season when United clinched the title.

His return to Carrington is a bonus for manager Alex Ferguson, because Rio Ferdinand has a potential suspension hanging over him.
