Darron Gibson is unhappy with Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni's suggestion that he leave Manchester United.
Trapattoni suggested that the Londonderry man could improve his “hunger” by quitting the Theatre of Dreams.
The 22-year-old was snubbed by Trapattoni in favour of Derby County’s Paul Green for Friday night's 1-0 victory over Armenia in Yerevan and missed out again in last nights 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifier victory against Andorra in the Aviva Stadium.
“If Trapattoni wants me to move on from a club like Manchester United to better my game, move to somewhere like Stoke where I'll get more games, but have little chance of winning anything, then I just don’t know,” he told the Belfast Telegraph.
“Where else would I go from Manchester United? At what club, other than Manchester United, could I go to improve my game?
“To be honest, if he's trying to say that I should move somewhere like Stoke City and change my game to winning tackles and not winning games, then he's having a laugh.
“To move on from Manchester United just doesn't make sense to me.”
