Brown injury adds to Man Utd worries

Another Manchester United defender has joined the injury list with Wes Brown sustaining a suspected broken fifth metatarsal.

The likelihood of him missing Wednesday’s Champions League clash with AC Milan at Old Trafford is enormous, adding to manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s injury worries.

Michael Owen, Anderson, Ryan Giggs, John O’Shea and Jonny Evans will all be missing from the Milan match and star striker Wayne Rooney is also in doubt.

United won the first leg at the San Siro 3-2 but will not be able to rest with a weakened team against a Milan outfit capable of anything as pointed out by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

"It's not a case of owing Milan one, but we will want to make sure we don't make the same mistakes we did a few years ago when they knocked us out at the semi-final stage,” the Dutchman told the club’s official website.

"They played particularly well in the home leg here when we won 3-2 and Kaka scored two goals. Then at the San Siro, Clarence Seedorf was fantastic - he was excellent in both games actually. But we got a good result in Milan and now we need to finish it off with a magic night at Old Trafford."
