The Sun reveals secret Man Utd ploy

The lid has finally been lifted on one of football’s best kept secrets – Sir Alex Ferguson regular turns out for Manchester United in the guise of ‘Darron Gibson’. Originally thought to be one of the club’s brightest prospects for the future, the so-called Gibson is in fact the alter ego of the United boss.

The truth was revealed last night after Ferguson struggled to contain himself after bagging a stunning brace against Tottenham last night.

The Sun quotes Ferguson as saying: “That’s probably my most special night in a United shirt, scoring two goals like that. But it was a good team performance.”

Fair play to Fergie – they were decent efforts and he put in a solid performance.
