The 39-year-old was on target along with recent signing Steven Robb.

And Brewster told the Daily Record: "It's pleasing because the last six months on the sidelines have been frustrating."

Trialists Lindsay Wilson and Jeppe Hestehave enjoyed 45 minutes each at right-back for United.

Brewster's last goal in a United shirt came in 1996 before he left Tannadice for a spell in Greek football.

He returned to Tayside from Inverness in January but broke his foot on his debut and missed the rest of the season.
