Manchester United have ended the uncertainty over Wes Brown's future at the club by announcing the central defender has agreed a new four-year
contract.
Brown's current deal was due to run out in the summer, and several other clubs had shown interest in signing the 25-year-old after contract talks with
United initially broke down over his wage demands.
At one stage it even seemed Brown was on his way out of Old Trafford, manager Sir Alex Ferguson accusing the player's new agent of "filling his head
with nonsense".
The England international would have been able to talk to other clubs from January 1. But a deal to keep him at the club until June 2008 has been
salvaged, leaving Ferguson jubilant at keeping a player he "couldn't bear to lose".
