Former England defender Wes Brown has been declared bankrupt, according to media reports.

The 43-year-old, who spent 15 years at Manchester United and won 23 caps for his country, reportedly earned up to £50,000 a week at Old Trafford. 

HMRC is said to have filed a bankruptcy petition against Brown in February, which was approved by the High Court on 12 April. 

Brown had stints with Sunderland and Blackburn before retiring at Kerala Blasters. 

Last year he split from his wife Leanne, who starred in reality TV series The Real Housewives of Cheshire. 

The couple shares custody of their three children.
