Brown making the most of his Man Utd tenure

Wes Brown is keen to embrace all the Manchester United opportunities that come his way, particularly with his present contract due to expire at the end of next season. The 31 year old is not sure how much time he has left at Old Trafford.

However, he will probably be involved in a Carling Cup quarter-final outing at West Ham on Tuesday night.

"I am not getting any younger now and every game I do play I just try to enjoy and do my best for the team," he said.

"You have to give everything for the cause. That is the most important thing for me."

He is a Carling Cup ever-present this season, though, skippering United to victory over Wolves in the last round and it would be no surprise he was handed the armband again as boss Sir Alex Ferguson makes an anticipated large number of changes.

"It has been great to be back playing some games," said Brown.

"I am really enjoying things at the moment. I am training hard and hopefully I will have more opportunities in the coming months."

"Staying focused is the most important thing when it comes to defending," he added.

"We do a lot of repetitive drills in training to help you do that.

"We have this thing called wave games, where we basically attack and defend, over and over again.

"It helps drill it into your head what you need to do in one-on-one situations."
