Gibson extends United contract

Manchester United have extended the contract for highly rated midfielder, Darron Gibson until 2012.

The Republic of Ireland player made 14 appearances for the club last season and scored a beautiful long distance goal in the final game of the season against Hull.

Speaking to the official website, he said :

I am very happy to commit my future to United.

Last season I enjoyed every opportunity and when I got my chance I wanted to prove what I could do. I hope to continue that this season.

Now Sir Alex would expect him to push for more first team action in the Premiership as well as then in Europe.
