Four years after Manchester United retired midfielder, Gibson is still restless and returns to play in the ninth tier.

Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Gibson, who has announced his retirement for four years and hung up his boots, recently announced his return to football and joined the ninth-tier league team Wythenshawe FC (Cantonese translation: Wythenshawe) to continue his professional career at the age of 37 and enjoy the fun of playing football.

The former Ireland international, Darren Gibson, was born in the Manchester United youth training team. He played for the Manchester United first team from 2005 to 2012. However, he did not have many opportunities to play. He only scored 10 goals in 60 games. Later, he also played for teams such as Everton and Sunderland. In 2021, he announced his retirement at Salford City (Shaft City).

Wythenshawe FC released a clip of a new player signing on social media, which quickly attracted 700,000 views. Later it was revealed that Gibbs was the one who made the appearance, and Manchester United fans were shocked.

Gibbs has attended Manchester United celebrity exhibition games in recent years, and has previously disclosed his addiction to sleeping pills, alcoholism and other problems, and that he almost died due to epileptic seizures. This comeback also marks that his life is back on track.
