Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson is delighted with his progress this season after winning the Carling Cup on Sunday.

"My chances have come this season, and I have taken them as well, so I am delighted," he said.

"It was absolutely brilliant to be out there, and although it was nerve-wracking to watch the penalty shoot-out, I thought that we deserved to win.

"I never worried that it was not going to happen for me United because I never really had a proper go at it. If it had not happened to me this season then perhaps I would have been worried."
