Gibson hopeful of new United deal

MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Darron Gibson expects to hold talks with the club over a new deal in the summer.

The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who has just over a year to run on his current contract, admits he would be happy to pledge his long-term future to the club.

United have recently secured Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick on fresh terms and Gibson is ready to sit down and discuss an extension at the end of the season.
