Sir Alex Ferguson has indicated Wes Brown will miss the remainder of the season.[LNB]Sidelined: Wes Brown won't return before the end of the season[LNB]Brown has managed just two substitute appearances since last October aftersustaining a foot injury but seemed to be heading for full fitness again.[LNB]Sir Alex Ferguson was hoping to introduce Brown back into the first-team picture at Middlesbrough last week but in the end had to rule him out after the England defender suffered a minor setback in training.[LNB]Although the damage is not thought to be extensive, with only four matches of the Premier League season to play, plus the Champions League final as United look to retain a trophy Brown helped them to win in Moscow 12 months ago, Ferguson has effectively written the 29-year-old out of his plans.[LNB]Instead, the Scot will rely on John O'Shea, Rafael Da Silva and Gary Neville, who is fit again after his own foot injury, to fill the right-back berth.[LNB]'Wes had a little setback during the week,' confirmed the United boss.[LNB]'It is not major but the fact the season is coming to an end makes it difficult for him.[LNB]'We have Gary back fit so we are not too bad. But it is disappointing for Wes.'[LNB] MANCHESTER DERBY SPECIAL: Sportsmail takes City and United on a trip down memory laneFerdinand believes a fear of failure drives Manchester United to successGovernment orders Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Arsenal to share wealthMANCHESTER UNITED FC
