Midfielder plans Old Trafford stay
Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson expects to hold talks with the club over a new deal in the summer.
The 23-year-old, 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.
Gibson's future at United has been the subject of conjecture with Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni calling on the player to leave Old Trafford in search of regular first-team football to boost his international aspirations.
However, Gibson insists he has no plans to leave United and has vowed to fight for a place in Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
"My contract ends in 2012 and although there have been no talks at the minute I am not too worried about," Gibson told
skysports.com at an event promoting EA SPORTS FIFA 11 Ultimate Team.
No plans to leave
"I think they will maybe in the summer sit down and have a chat about a new deal and I am confident I can get one.
"I have no plans to leave Manchester United.
"My main goal is to try and get to play every week and be in there as a regular, but I think things are going well for me at the minute.
"Obviously I want to kick on and get in the team, but I am happy enough."
Gibson insists he has been happy with his form when he has been given a chance in the United side this season
"I am happy enough with my form, I have got no complaints," added Gibson.
"Obviously I would like to have scored a few more goals, but I am enjoying it at the minute and hopefully I can kick on and play in the rest of the games that are left in the season."
