Manchester United loanee Ethan Laird was enjoying Queens Park Rangersโ 3-0 win against Cardiff City on Wednesday evening as he took to winding up his opponents at Loftus Road.
The 21-year-old is on a season-long loan at QPR after spending the second half of last season on loan at Bournemouth as they achieved promotion to the Premier League.
Laird looks to be relishing the opportunity with the Championship side having played 10 matches, scoring one goal and assisting two. QPR sit top of the table and the youngster will be gaining valuable experience to bring back to Manchester at the end of the season.
During their clash with Cardiff, Laird got the home crowd cheering after Callum OโDowda looks to almost square up to him, and Laird jokingly mimics backing away in fear.
