Gibson a shooting star
TWO-goal hero Darron Gibson insisted Manchester United's youngsters did not have anything to prove when they took to the field against Tottenham. The second string came in for criticism after a Champions League defeat by Besiktas last week but manager Sir Alex Ferguson kept faith with them for the Carling Cup tie. And it paid off as Gibson netted twice in a 2-0 success over Spurs at Old Trafford. The Irishman told Sky Sports: It was a good team performance following last week. We bounced back and the young lads did well. We didn't go out to try and prove anything. Sometimes you have bad days and today was a good day. Ferguson praised Gibson's performance and revealed the youngsters will get another chance in the semi-finals. He did well, said the Scotsman. The second goal particularly, the movement and working off the ball was good and a terrific finish. Gibson and Anderson did very well in the middle of the park. We're two games away from Wembley, that's good. We'll enjoy the semi-final and these lads will play again. Gary Neville, meanwhile, believes the next generation are getting their chance on merit. Gibbo scored two great goals and that makes it routine for you, he said. They're playing for their countries and they deserve their place. They can hold their own. They're quality. What do you think? Have your say.
