Brown adamant he's staying

Wes Brown wants a life sentence at Manchester United despite being the subject of intense transfer speculation this summer.

While being back-up to the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic is not a role the Manchester-born player is entirely satisfied with, it is one he is happy to accept if it means he is to become a Premier League champion again, as he was for the fourth time in May.

"I love playing for United and talk of me leaving this summer was rubbish," the 27-year-old said. "I have never thought of going anywhere else because it would be a step down. Having that kind of conversation with the manager is something I just dread."

He added: "There is always competition for places here. We have brought in some more new faces and the team is looking young and good. It will be great to be involved this season."
