Gary Neville admits he is facing the 'ultimate' challenge to displace Wes Brown with Manchester United and England.

Neville has missed over 12 months of action with various knee and ankle injures, but he is finally back fit.

However, during his absence Brown stepped in to both his place in the United and England line-ups, and he has performed admirably.

Now 33-year-old Neville admits he faces a huge task to get back his place in either side.

"Last season Wes was probably in our top two or three most consistent players," said Neville.

"He deserved all the success he got including an England place.

"I've got a number of challenges ahead of me and the ultimate one is to try to get back into that team in front of Wes. That's going to be hard."
