Man Utd defender Reece Brown excited with Bradford chance

Manchester United defender Reece Brown is excited about his loan move to Bradford City.

Bantams boss Peter Taylor coached Brown's more illustrious sibling Wes in the national set-up and the 18-year-old believes his own game can kick on from working with the Valley Parade chief.

Brown said to the Telegraph & Argus: "Wes told me that Bradford were the biggest club in League 2 so go out and enjoy it.

"The gaffer coached Wes as well and the manager at United said he was a great coach. They've told me to listen to his team talks and learn from what he's saying because he's up there with the best."

Brown added: "It's a big step but I'm ready for that next level.

"When I played for England for the first time it was a bit nerve-wracking but that was up against people the same age as me and in a similar position.

"Now I'm stepping up against players who are probably bigger and stronger than myself; against men, if you like. But it's a challenge I'm looking forward to.

"Obviously people always think of me as Wes Brown's brother. But I see myself as my own person and that's what I'm trying to make myself into."
