Gibson tells Trap: No chance of leaving Man Utd

Darron Gibson says there's no chance of him leaving Manchester United.

The 23 year-old midfielder is striving to establish ­himself at Old Trafford - prompting Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni to advise him to leave United for the good of his career.

He said: "I know what ­Trapattoni would like me to do, but leaving a club like United is easier said than done.

"He wants me to play every week so that he can get the best out of me when I play for Ireland.

"But no-one is guaranteed a game at United. It isn't just me. Look at Dimitar ­Berbatov, who has been on the bench for our last few games.

"Of course I get frustrated when I'm not in the team but I think I will learn more training with top-class ­players and playing in big games when I get my chance rather than playing every week at a smaller club.

"To be honest, I was a bit disappointed by what Trapattoni said. Things like that are my decision.

"If I wanted to leave I would, but I have got just over a year left on my current ­contract and, although there haven't been any talks yet, I am confident of getting a new deal."
