Manchester United midfielder Darron Gibson has deleted his Twitter account barely two hours after signing up to the social networking site.
Gibson’s Twitter username was Dgibbo28 ( set up around midday on April 25, 2011) and he was welcomed on to the site by United defender Rio Ferdinand ( Twitter @rioferdy5). However a barrage of verbal attacks from Manchester United fans, some of which are reproduced below forced Gibson to delete his account in under two hours.
