The 28-year-old has become a key member of the team - playing more times than any other United player - as they go for glory in the Barclays Premier League and Champions League.

Not only has Manchester-born Brown shaped up well at right-back in the year-long absence of Gary Neville, he has also looked good in the heart of the defence when called on to replace the injured Nemanja Vidic.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side have conceded only 22 goals in 37 league fixtures, which has put them in the position of needing a victory against Wigan Athletic next Sunday to retain the Premier League title.

There is also a date at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow to look forward to on 21st May when Chelsea will supply the opposition in the Champions League final.

And Brown, who recently signed a new four-year deal to remain at Old Trafford, is determined that United sign off the campaign in style.

He said: "This is one of my best seasons. I have played every week when in other years I have been in and out of the side.

"It is great to be doing that and hopefully I can keep the run going. Two more wins would bring two trophies so that would be brilliant.

"These games are very important and we have to be ready to meet them head on. We have played well in the league all season and to throw it away now would be very disappointing.

"To get to the Champions League final is a great achievement for everyone at the club. We are there now but we know we still have not won anything."
