Gibson slams foolish suggestion to leave United | Manchester United and Republic of Ireland midfielder Darron Gibson has slammed international boss Giovanni Trapattoni after the Italian suggested that the player should leave Old Trafford. Gibson has struggled to find a consistent place in Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad, but he has made big strides as a player since breaking through the United reserve ranks.
“If Trapattoni wants me to move on from a club like Manchester United to better my game, move to somewhere like Stoke where I’ll get more games, but have little chance of winning anything, then I just don’t know,” he said.
“Where else would I go from Manchester United? At what club, other than Manchester United, could I go to improve my game?
“To be honest, if he’s trying to say that I should move somewhere like Stoke City and change my game to winning tackles and not winning games, then he’s having a laugh.
“To move on from Manchester United just doesn’t make sense to me.”
Gibson has been competing with the likes of Paul Scholes, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, and Anderson in the center of United’s midfield, but his blistering shot has meant that he has had limited chances to shine.
The return of Owen Hargreaves – if he can eventually overcome his long term injury woes – will only place Gibson further down the pecking order, and it remains to be seen how long he’ll remain at United.
