Wes Brown is set to make his long-awaited return to action when the reserves travel to face Lancashire neighbours Preston on Monday.Apart from a brief return to duty at the end on January, Brown has been sidelined since November following an ankle operation.But Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing to rush the England star back into action as Manchester United continue their assault on an unprecedented quintuple.And that means Brown could face Preston in a Lancashire Senior Cup semi-final at Deepdale on Monday afternoon."Wes has started training with the first team and I am contemplating playing him in the reserves on Monday," said Ferguson."Given the amount of important games we have coming up, it might be worth rushing him back."It would be great to have Wes available because he is such a fantastic defender and it will give us another option."[LNB]
