Condolences to Wes Brown

Wes Brown will miss the rest of the South African pre season tour due to the death of his pregnant sister.

Claire Fallows, 36, was about three months pregnant and had a history of heart problems. She died in hospital Saturday. She leaves behind husband Tom, 36, and three sons aged 16, 13 and one.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said the England defender would return to the UK on Wednesday from the pre-season tour.

Brown, whose father Bancroft passed away in February, has decided to fly home after a period of indecision. He is said to be very devastated by the news. It is said that Brown is very close to his sister, since he only found out about her five years ago.

The family friend said: "Wes had only just got to know Claire and now he has lost her, she was a down-to-earth girl who was not bothered that he was a Premiership footballer."

"She was more interested in the fact that she had found her brother."

This is a tragic news for the Manchester United big family. I hope Wesley can coupe quickly from this tragedy, all our thoughts and condolences goes to Wesley and all the loved ones left behind.

RIP Claire Fallows....
