Darron Gibson

Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson is a loan target for three Championship clubs next month as he seeks regular first-team action after finding his opportunities limited at Old Trafford.

Burnley, Derby County and Bristol City are all interested in trying to bring in the Republic of Ireland international during the next transfer window. Gibson suffered damage to his ankle ligaments in August and has made only one appearance for his club this season, in the surprise 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup quarter-final last month.

Gibson, 24, is a possible starter for United's reserve team in their match against Liverpool at Altrincham tonight. Several scouts, including representatives of the three Championship clubs, are likely to be present, although any loan deal will probably be dependent on United agreeing to pay a substantial part of Gibson's wages.

Blackburn, Aston Villa and Sunderland had all expressed an interest in Gibson during the summer transfer window but his chances of securing a Premier League move in August were ended by the ankle injury.

Was speaking to a Utd fan yesterday talking about injuries and how they are so short in centre mid with Fletcher, Cleverly, Anderson out - his assessment was that no matter how bad it got there is still no way they would/could play Gibson - that being said our standards/requirements are not at nearly the same level. Can't see it happening though, a prem club would likely take him on loan and that would make more sense.

I suppose Gibson on loan would be ok, its been said above, average in the prem would be acceptable for us.

It would make a change to take someone from a big prem club instead of us signing cast offs from our smaller, cash-strapped, east midlands rivals, (like Ben Davies, Tom Naylor and Lewis McGugan).

Any day of the week, I actually really like Gibson, not sure why united fans dislike him so much. Everyone thought Fletcher was average but has proved to be quite important when played.

Gibson at Derby wont happen, But if it did I would be overjoyed.........I like him (Louis Walsh accent)
