Darron Gibson is delighted he swapped Manchester United for Everton.

Gibson went straight into David Moyes' side following his January switch from Old Trafford and has since made 12 starts, a figure which would undoubtedly be greater but for a six-match lay-off with a knee problem.

"As a footballer you want to play and when it came down to it, I wasn't playing as much as I would have liked," said the midfielder. "That meant I had to move. Some people would say I failed at United and towards the end, I wasn't playing my best.

"So I've come here to start showing people how good a player I am. I wouldn't say I failed, I'd say I never got the chance I wanted."
