Former Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson is training with League Two side Salford City to keep his fitness up as he searches for a new club.
But the Ammies have no plans to offer Gibson a contract at the moment as he seeks to resurrect his career, having been without the club since leaving Wigan Athletic in the summer.
Gibson joined United as a 17-year-old and spent eight years at Old Trafford, making 60 senior appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson, scoring 10 times.
The Republic of Ireland international found the back of the net in a Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich and in a semi-final against Schalke, but he never fulfilled his promise and left the club in January 2012 to join Everton.
In October 2013 he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury while on international duty and he's struggled for regular football since then, never making more than 18 appearances in a single season.
He was released by Wigan in the summer but has been invited to train with Class of 92-owned Salford City, who are managed by Graham Alexander.
Gibson played with four of Salford's co-owners during his time at Old Trafford, in Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, while David Beckham and Nicky Butt had left just before Gibson's arrival at United from Irish side Institute.

Darron Gibson Is Just One Of The Many "Hopefuls" That Failed And Never Make It Down The Line. He Started Off Brightly At The Beginning But Faded Away Bit By Bit And Vanished Within Our Radar As Times Went By. (Wish He Will Get His Career Back Sooner Than Later).
