Manchester United was one of the best teams in the 90's and early 00's, its dominance in all competitions was something shocking, because not only would have imposed its hegemony in the Premier League, but it was the team to beat in Europe and of course it was not for less, because during that time the club had the best players of the time. 


How can we forget those moments when we were champions of Europe or that we won 8 out of 10 Premier League titles between the 92/93 and 02/03 seasons, there is no doubt that the club enjoyed great times and always surrounded by players like Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, among others who made the club have this great stage.


Another player who was in the spotlight during that time was Wes Brown, the defender began his career with Manchester United in the 97/98 season, so he had to share the pitch with many of the legends that the team had, over time the player was earning more and more his place, until he became one of the best in his position, that would allow him to earn more than 10 million a year, so he enjoyed his time at United. 


However, in 2011 he left the club and could not consolidate in any other team, until he had to retire seven years later playing in the Indian league, from there his life began to go downhill, because after that, he divorced his wife who was a "TV host" and also sued him so that a court would have filed a bankruptcy petition against Brown, so his life has not been the same. 

Wes Brown's record with United  


Despite his situation, Brown can be remembered as a great player and one of the best defenders Manchester United ever had, because during his time at United, he was able to accumulate 362 games, won 7 Premier Leagues, 2 Champions League, 2 FA Cups, 3 League Cups and 2 Super Cups; there is no doubt that Wes Brown won it all with United and he will always be remembered for that.
