Manchester United defender Wes Brown could be playing with kid brother Reece in the near future.

The 17 year-old is beginning to see action for United reserves and played in last night's 3-3 draw with Newcastle.

"Reece will obviously forever be saddled with the tag of being Wes Brown's younger brother," said Paul McGuinness, United's Under-18s boss.

"When people see Reece, they see a striking resemblance, both in terms of looks and style of play. He has the same sort of attributes.

"He's good in the air, quick and he's a big lad. Reece has settled in nicely.

"He's been at the club since a very young age, but the start he has made to his professional career has been really good. He has concentrated right from the start, which is a feature we really wanted him to look at."
