Commenting on his own future, given that his current contract with United expires at the end of the 2010 season, Darron said he would be entering into negotiations with the club next week in the hope of extending his current deal and ending speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
"It's exciting times for me," he suggested. "My contract is coming to an end so, hopefully, at the end of the month I'll be signing a new one. My current deal ends at the end of next season but, normally, a player would enter into new contract talks at the end of this month."
Transfer Listed?
It had been reported that the former Tristar Boys' Club player was placed on the Transfer List despite scoring a stunning winning goal against Hull City in the final game of the season and having played a major role in the Carling Cup campaign. However, Gibson dismissed those rumours and expressed his desire to remain at Old Trafford and challenge for a regular place in the first team.
"I've been told that a few clubs had expressed an interest in signing me but I was never placed on the list. I want to give it a good push and have a proper go at it next season before I decide to go anywhere else.
"I think if I keep my head down and get a few games under my belt, I'll be able to go into central midfield and do as good a job as anyone else," claimed the player.
In fact, the Republic of Ireland international has his sights set on further success at the top level with the 'Red Devils' next season and he's determined to make an impact at the club.
"The season just finished was my best season at Manchester United by a mile," claimed Gibson. "If you had asked me at the start of last season what I thought was going to happen, I probably would have told you I would be going out on loan and wouldn't have contemplated even playing in the first team. But I decided to stay, put my head down and pushed on from there.
"Thankfully the chances came my way and I took them. I played a few first team games - a lot more than I was expecting to play - and every time I did play, I felt I did well.
"Obviously I got my first winners' medal as well which was unbelievable and that gave me a great boost. Some top players have never get won a medal throughout their careers. I really enjoyed last season but, hopefully, next season I can push on and do a bit more," he concluded
