Defender to stay until 2012
Manchester United defender Wes Brown has signed a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson revealed last week Brown and team-mates Rio Ferdiand and Michael Carrick had agreed contract extenions.
Brown looked to be on his out of United after turning down a new deal earlier in the year, but a compromise was finally reached to keep the versatile defender at the Premier League leaders.
The 28-year-old was delighted to sort out his future and extend his stay at United until 2012 having come through the youth ranks at Old Trafford.
Fantastic
"Manchester United is a fantastic club and I am delighted to have signed a new deal," Brown told the club's official website.
"To be part of a team I have supported all my life is a great honour.
"I can see this team winning many trophies in the coming seasons and it will be great to share in that success."
Ferguson was happy to keep Brown after being impressed at the way he has helped fill the void left by Gary Neville's long-term absence.
"I am delighted Wes has signed a new contract, he has grown up at this club and is an integral part of the squad," noted Ferguson
"He has done a great job during Gary's absence and has been a major factor in our outstanding defensive performance."
