To back this up a little, my mate who's a Man Utd season ticket holder has just told me that they'd been approached by a North East club with the view to taking Gibson on loan for a year. He's going to try and find out which club it was. Very positive news if it's us!
Regarding Gibson, he said he'd be sad to see him go as he felt he could make it at Man Utd. He also said Simpson would do a job for us but isn't on the same level as Gibson and it isn't a surprise that he's on his way out.
