Sir Alex Ferguson has likened Darron Gibson to Chelsea’s Frank Lampard.

The Republic of Ireland international has impressed in the Manchester United first team this season, and Ferguson is confident more is to come from the midfielder.

“Darron is of the Frank Lampard type in terms of his shooting. If he gets to that percentage of goals, we will have done well,” the United boss said.

“The lad has improved a lot. He’s a passing player endowed with different abilities to our other players."
