Brown expects Man Utd fans to applaud Robins

Manchester United defender Wes Brown expects fans to give Mark Robins a great reception for their Carling Cup tie with Barnsley.

Barnsley are managed by former Old Trafford striker Robins, who according to legend kept Sir Alex Ferguson in a job in 1990 when he scored the winner against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

Brown said: "He was a great player for United and he is doing well now in his management career. I am sure our fans will pay him great respect."
