Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson has joined Wolves on loan.

The 19-year-old Republic of Ireland international has agreed to move to Molineux until January in a bid to secure first-team football.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy believes Gibson will prove a valuable addition to his squad as he plans for a promotion push.

"Darron is a talented midfielder that will bring us real competition for places in central midfield," McCarthy told Wolves' official website.

"He is only 19 but he is a good player and has a good range of passing."

Gibson made his United debut in 2005 in the Carling Cup win over Barnet, but has failed to secure any further first-team football.
