WESLEY WANTS MORE OF THE SAME

"We've been looking to turn Old Trafford into a fortress again and we don't want to lose another game there this season," said Brown.

"We needed to start keeping clean sheets again and that's what we've done. Teams have been coming to Old Trafford in the past 18 months thinking they could pinch a result. But we're trying to get it back to how it was in the old days, when teams used to fear coming to play us and we had an advantage even before they turned up."

"I hope Arsenal and Liverpool are thinking 'United are back in it'. We've beaten both of them in the space of a week now, which proves we're right back in the running for the title. But the important thing now is to approach every game with the same hunger. It doesn't matter if it's Arsenal, Liverpool or West Ham, we have to keep playing at the top of our game."

"The mood is good in the camp, the place is buzzing again and the lads are enjoying playing while we're on this run.

"When you keep on winning, you can't wait for the games to come along. And now we've won both our Champions League games we can get stuck into the Premiership for the next two months before Europe starts up again."
