Gibson’s goal against Bayern Munich last week took his season tally to six.
“You saw Gibson’s performance against Bayern Munich,” Fergie said. “That was his sixth goal of the season [in all competitions] and you cannot dismiss that.
“It is the kind of contribution we used to get from Paul Scholes. He used to get me 12 to 14 goals from midfield all the time and we haven’t had a player like that in a while.
“Who is to say if Gibson had been playing all the time where he would be in terms of goals? But he is getting recognition now and even the players are commenting on how much he has improved.”
