Brown returns home after family tragedy
Manchester United defender Wes Brown will fly home today after the death of his pregnant half-sister at the weekend.
Brown made the decision to cut short his stay in South Africa after a chat with manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
He took part in the 1-0 victory against Orlando Pirates last night in the Vodacom Challenge but will now skip the final match of the tournament in Pretoria on Saturday.
Ferguson said: 'The boy wanted to play and will now go home to take up the family duties.
'It is a very difficult one to advise someone on. Only the person themselves can really make that decision.'

It was very brave of Wes to play last night but i think everyone agrees that family comes first.
Again, my deepest condolences to the Brown family.
