Newcastle are attempting to hijack Darron Gibson’s proposed £5million move to north-east rivals Sunderland.
The Manchester United midfielder has been given permission to open talks with Sunderland after the Premier League champions accepted a bid last week.
But Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will match Sunderland’s offer in the next 48 hours and attempt to persuade Gibson to snub their arch-rivals.
The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international accepts he has no future at Old Trafford.
Yet he remains undecided whether joining Sunderland, managed by former United defender, Steve Bruce, is the right career move.
