Ferguson: Man Utd pair Anderson, Gibson will be great players

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased to field youngsters Darron Gibson and Anderson in their 4-0 win at West Ham.

Paul Scholes orchestrated play for the Reds at Upton Park alongside the youth of Gibson and Anderson. Ferguson feels the two apprentices will have learnt a thing or two from the experience.

He told manutd.com: “They are both only young boys of 22 and 21 years of age. They are going to be great players, and they accept that Paul Scholes is the finished article. They see a man who has been doing it for 15 years at the highest level. He’s a great example to them and it will rub off I’m sure.”
