Brown in line for United return

Wes Brown returns to the Manchester United squad for Sunday’s encounter with Arsenal after recovering from a groin injury.

The England defender has missed the last three games but is in contention for at least a place on the bench against the Gunners as the Red Devils look for a ninth successive Premiership win.

Once again Alex Ferguson’s major dilemma is whether to go with either Louis Saha or Ruud van Nistelrooy up front after both men scored in last weekend’s win at Bolton.

Squad: Van de Sar, Howard, Neville, Pique, Ferdinand, Vidic, Brown, Silvestre, Evra, Ronaldo, Giggs, O’Shea, Fletcher, Park, Rooney, Saha, Van Nistelrooy, Rossi.
