" Brown boost for Man Utd"
Manchester United defender Wes Brown could be set to return to action in December.
Brown damaged knee ligaments on the final day of last season and has been out since, but he is ahead of schedule in his recovery and could play first-team football by Christmas.
" Wes started doing bits of training with the young players last week," said United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
" He will be continuing with that as well. He is making quicker progress than we expected.
" We anticipated it would be the new year before we could think about a comeback, but now we hope we can bring that forward.
" I think we will now be looking for a reserve match for him at the beginning of the next month. If all goes well I could have him in the first-team squad for the festive period.
" It is smashing news, and we are all pleased because he´s had a tough time," he told the Manchester Evening News.
Brown´s return is a boost to United as Rio Ferdinand is facing a possible suspension for missing a drugs test and Gary Neville has suffered a recurrence of an Achilles problem.
