Defensive Rock
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has been giving his opinion about his former club recently and gave his assessment of the club’s current stars. The Red Devils have suffered a Premier League title drought in eight years and have continued to be in the hunt for another league crown since the last time when they won it in Sir Alex Ferguson’s last campaign in charge back in 2013.
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown was full of praise for Paul Pogba for his impact during the Europa League round of 16 tie with Italian Serie A giants AC Milan last week Thursday. Wes Brown lauded the impact of the Frenchman when he came on at half-time of the second leg clash between Milan and Manchester United at the San Siro on Thursday night. It took him just four minutes to make an impact for his team during the game. He scored the only goal of the game as Manchester United progressed from their last 16 tie with the Rossoneri and into the quarterfinals via a 2-1 aggregate victory over their Italian opponents. Until his introduction into the game, Manchester United were facing elimination by virtue of the away goals rule. Manchester United needed to score at least a goal in the second leg clash between the two European giants at the San Siro after the first leg at the Theatre of Dreams ended in a 1-1 draw and it was Paul Pogba who produced the goods for the Red Devils on his return from injury after two months on the sidelines.
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has insisted that his former club are beginning to get good competition for places in the team, including the defensive department and that it is good for the team as a whole. The former defender said it is a great idea for two or more players to be fighting for every spot in the team as it helps the squad depth and improves players’ abilities as well.
Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has declared that he believes his former side are part of the teams that are going for the Premier League title this season. The former defender who won five trophies during his playing career as a Red Devil says there is currently no reason for the Old Trafford side to not compete credibly for the title this season.
Manchester United legend Wes Brown had high hopes for the club this season and it is safe to say that the team has not met those lofty expectations. In one of his interviews at the start of this season, Wes Brown told the Manchester United website at the Soccer Aid for Unicefmatch at Old Trafford that he’s optimistic for the new season. The optimism from Wes Brown and other Manchester United fans has been derailed by the average performances churned out by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players this season especially in the Premier League.
Wes Brown might be an ex-star player of Manchester United but he still has considerable interest in what happens in the club. Recently he urged the club authorities to keep their faith in players Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire who play in center back positions. The club is hoping to get a new center-back for the summer. The playing season this year saw Red Devils having an unbeaten streak. This extended across 16 matches in several competitions during the weekend. When Wes was asked whether anybody could be improved upon at center half for United, Brown stated that the two players should be kept, in light of the different games they played and the goals they helped acquire.
Premier League defender Patrick van Aanholt has revealed influences in his career whilst he was at
Sunderland. He said he was honoured to feature alongside former Three Lions star Jermain Defoe. Both
stars featured for the Black Cats, helping them avoid relegation twice.
Eric Bailly has spent all season and even much of last season on the treatment table so uch so that most United supporters now assume he must be on loan somewhere else.
The center back however says he is very much involved with whatever his going on at Old Trafford and would love to win trophies for United whenever he’s being called upon to help.

The Black Cats may have nine lives but that isn’t enough to go into the clash with Bristol when majority of their line-ups will be absent during the international break.
Nothing tells of how the mighty has fallen than watching Sunderland freak out at the absence of Conor McLaughlin, Jon McLaughlin and Tom Flanagan when it used to be the likes of Wes Brown and John Oshea.

Manchester United start to the season has been far from spectacular but there are signs of improvement from the club so far. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has used the summer to pass his ideas to the players and there are expectations this season.
