Brown broke into the first team a year later (1998-1999) when he made a few first team appearances, this was also the year that United won the treble.
2000 would be a bad year for Brown, he suffered a string of injuries whilst training and he didnt play a single competitive game all year. Brown did return and he returned with a bang, he had a fantastic 2000-2001 campaign which was folled by a successful 2001-2002 campaign.
Wes Brown's reputation grew and in the 2002-2003 season he suffered another set back when he tore a knee ligament on the final day of the season.
