And Ferguson, who reared Brown up from the Red Devils youth ranks and on to a stunning 15-year career at Old Trafford, believes the centre-back can continue to improve under the guidance of Bruce. "Wes has been a great asset to the club during the most successful period in its history," Ferguson told United's official website. "He was a product of the youth system and marked himself out from an early age as one of his generation's most natural defenders. "In his time with us, he certainly became a favourite with the fans for his no-nonsense approach to the game and his infectious personality. "It's always the hardest of decisions to let loyal servants go. But life moves on and, unquestionably, Wes will get the chance to make a real contribution to Steve Bruce's Sunderland and I'm delighted to be passing him into such good hands. "Everyone connected with United wishes him a long and happy stay at Sunderland." http://therepublikofmancunia.com/fe...aign=fergie-oshea-epitomises-uniteds-approach Fergie: OâShea Epitomises Unitedâs Approach July 7, 2011 10 Comments After John OâSheaâs four year deal with Sunderland was announced, Sir Alex Ferguson has sung his praises, claiming that allowing him more game time was the reason for him leaving. âJohn has been an outstanding servant to the club, since he broke into the first team almost a decade ago,â Sir Alex told the official site. âHis versatility, calmness under pressure and his commitment to the cause at United means that fans will remember him with great affection. John has won so many medals â and has deserved every one of them. He epitomises our clubâs approach as a team. After so many years of service to United, Iâm pleased that John has found a career opportunity which will deliver the number of games he deserves. We wish John every success in his new life. Steve Bruce is a manager that knows how to blend youth and experience and Iâm sure he has John earmarked for a senior role in trying to take Sunderland on from their finish last season.â IMO both are top sigings for us im very happy
