Brown is just back from injury, again. He'll likely break down again soon. He makes Del Piero look like Mattie Holland (who went four and a half years without missing a game for Ipswich before moving to Charlton, where he's not, to my knowledge, missed a game
).
He's potentially a good defender, but, like O'Shea, isn't experienced enough yet. At the rate he's going, he'll never be.
Assuming Ferdinand is out, Man U can pick from:
Gary Neville D R/C
Wes Brown D R/C(probably injured)
John O'Shea D R/L/C
M. Silvestre D L/C
and back them up with Quenten Fortune, who can play at left-back in a pinch; Roy Keane, who can play at centre-half or sweeper in a pinch; and Phil Neville, who can play in either full-back role.
They're definately in need of a stop-gap defender, unless Ferguson rates youngsters like Lynch (D R) and Tierney (D L)
