  Cats and Trotters want Utd ace Wes

  

  SET TO GO ... Utd defender Brown

  .

  .

  WES BROWN looks set to be at the centre of a bidding war between Bolton and Sunderland.

  Defender Brown, 31, is out of favour at Manchester United after a bust-up with Alex Ferguson and is certain to be on his way this summer.

  Bolton sees him as an ideal replacement for £17million Arsenal target Gary Cahill, 25.

  And the Black Cats are planning a £12m double-swoop for Brown and fellow United fringe player, midfielder Darron Gibson.

  Sunderland chief Steve Bruce reckons he can persuade his old United boss Fergie to sell the pair.

  But Ferguson is a big admirer of Bruce's highly-rated England Under-21 midfielder Jordan Henderson, 20 and could offer the pair in part exchange for the £15m-rated star.

  West Brom keen to re-sign Manchester United stopper Tomasz Kuszczak
  

   

  

  On his way out: Manchester United no longer have use for Tomasz Kuszczak as they expect to sign a new goalkeeper this summer

   

   

   

  West Brom are considering a £3million offer their former goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak.

  The 29-year-old Poland international is surplus to requirements at Manchester United and Roy Hodgson wants a new keeper after missing out on Brad Friedel.

  West Brom are also hopeful of beating Sunderland to Blackpool's David Vaughan, 28.

  Sunderland target Darron Gibson has revealed that he is ready to leave Manchester United if he does not start playing more regularly.

  It was reported earlier this week that the Black Cats had launched a triple bid for Gibson and United team-mates Wes Brown and John O'Shea.

  Gibson is now waiting to see whether a move materialises - but insists he would have no problem making the switch to Wearside if it benefits his career.

  The Republic of Ireland midfielder has previously been urged to quit Old Trafford by national team manager Giovanni Trapattoni as he remains a bit-part player under Sir Alex Ferguson.

  And the 23-year-old has now indicated that it might be time for him to embark on a new challenge at the Stadium of Light.

  "If Sunderland get the three of us, it would be unbelievable business," he said.

  "It wouldn't faze me one bit to leave, all I want is what's best for me.

  "So if the best thing for me is to leave and go somewhere that I'll play every week then so be it.

  "I haven't sat down with Sir Alex to talk but if it comes to me not playing as much as I'd like next season I'll have to move.

  "I'm nearly 24. I'm going to have to go somewhere else if I don't start playing regularly."
