What do you guys think about Gibson?  

To be honest, I always thinks he is not up to the standard.  people suggesting him being the next carrick.  but everytime when i see him, his passing and ball control is no way near carrick.  maybe i am too hard on him. he is only 22.  i just read some comment and people say he can be lampard.  I hope this will come true because i really like to see man utd youth player to be successful in the first team.

英国当地时间7月15日，曼联官方网站宣布与球队中场新星达伦-吉布森续约至2012年。

21岁的吉布森一直备受主教练弗格森的青睐，上赛季他一共为曼联一队出场14次。在联赛杯的夺冠过程中，吉布森作为曼联阵容中的关键球员发挥出色，此外在上赛季英超最后一轮对赫尔城的比赛中，他的一记世界波让球队客场1比0战胜对手，给所有人留下了深刻印象。在俱乐部顺风顺水的同时，吉布森也开始获得代表爱尔兰国家队征战的机会。

吉布森对自己的续约表示非常高兴：“非常高兴能把自己的未来托付给曼联。上赛季我很享受每次出场比赛的机会，每到这时候我就想证明自己。希望这个赛季还能继续。”弗格森也希望吉布森能为一队的主力位置而努力奋斗。“达伦是上赛季基本被视为曼联一队队员的几个年轻球员之一。他一直都在为一队的位置而努力。”

另外，欧文刚刚得到了曼联的7号球衣，与荣誉相伴的还有压力。红魔的另一位传奇7号、老队长布莱恩-罗布森就为欧文减压，他认为前利物浦金童一定能在曼联取得成功，并回到英格兰国家队。

罗布森表示：“他将在禁区内外游走，并且能进很多球。同时我还能预见他能加到英格兰国家队。这是一次伟大的签约，免费得到了像迈克尔这样的伟大球员。现在他只有29岁，正处在职业生涯的巅峰。曼联的比赛风格和控球方式很适合迈克尔发挥。”

对于欧文的伤病问题，罗布森表示这些交给教练就行了。“体能教练会为迈克尔单独制定个人训练计划。教练知道何时让球员休息，何时让他们比赛。这些都能帮助迈克尔。”
