Manchester United youngster Darron Gibson has revealed he knows
nothing about recent speculation linking him with a move to Premier
League rivals Fulham.
The 21-year-old midfielder has made 12 appearances for the Red
Devils this season, scoring two goals, and says he is concentrating
on forcing his way into manager Sir Alex Ferguson's plans.
"I never heard anything. But I am really happy where
I am for the minute," he is quoted as saying by The Irish
Examiner when asked about a possible move to the
Cottagers.
"This season, I have been involved a lot more than
last season, or the season before. I’ve learned about how Man
United play and about how the manager works.
"[More Premier League playing time] is the
next step for me. I am pushing at the moment but I haven’t really
got my chances. Hopefully, I can push a bit more in the next few
games and get my chance in the league."
The four-time capped Republic of Ireland international made six
appearances in the Carling Cup for United this season, including an
appearance against Tottenham Hotspur in the final.
Gibson believes that being part of a trophy winning team, despite
his relative inexperience, will stand him in good stead for the
rest of his career.
"It gives you a massive confidence boost to win a
medal at such a young age.
"Some players don’t win a medal in their whole career, so to do it
so early is a massive confidence boost for me."
