Derby Day and Dad
-
The first loud cheer of derby day last weekend came when Wes Brown made a thumping challenge on Petrov in front of the Stretford End.
In contrast to Manchester City, who played on derby day with just four Englishmen in their sixteen man squad, none of whom were Mancs, United boasted local lads Scholes, Brown, Giggs and Simpson and should have been up for derby day success. It wasn’t to be.
Wes Brown’s father passed away just three days before the derby clash and was clearly playing with this in mind. Despite obviously being given the option of sitting out the match, Brown insisted he wanted to play. It is this kind of commitment to the club most Premiership sides seem to be lacking at times and the idea of Wes moving on seems like insanity.
Offers for the defender were rejected in the January transfer window, and despite claims from United he would not see an improved contract, with Neville still not back in the fold and Hutton signing for Spurs, it would be nonsensical to allow Wes to leave.
