Laird clinches Championship loan move
Manchester United defender Ethan Laird has joined Swansea City on loan for the 2021/22 season.
The 20-year-old embarks on his second temporary move away from the club, having enjoyed a successful loan spell with MK Dons last season, featuring 26 times for the League One side as the Dons finished 13th in the table.
Laird, who has been with United since the age of 10, has featured twice for the first-team and will now further his experience of regular men’s football whilst out on loan.

The full-back will now once again join up with new Swans boss Russell Martin, who managed Laird at MK Dons last season. He could make his debut as early as Tuesday night, in the Championship game against Stoke City, subject to international clearance and registration.
Swansea have started the campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers and 0-0 draw with Sheffield United in the Championship, while beating Reading 3-0 in the Carabao Cup.
Everybody at United would like to wish Ethan the best of luck this term as we follow his progress at the Swansea.com Stadium.
