Congratulations to Manchester United youngster Ethan Laird, on loan at Milton Keynes Dons, for being included in the League One Team of the Week.

Manchester United sent a number of youngsters on loan in January and they all seem to be enjoying their start to 2021, with James Garner now impressing at Nottingham Forest and Tahith Chong getting game time at Club Brugge.

Laird is another young player who is making a strong impression, on his first loan move away from United.

Not only has he made the Team of the Week, as seen below, Laird was picked out for praise by MK Dons manager Russell Martin after his weekend performance. Martin told MK Don’s official website of Laird: “Brilliant. The difference between him in his first game and today is miles apart.”
