QPR fans already LOVE Manchester United loanee Ethan Laird after assist vs Watford

Ethan Laird is already receiving love from Queens Park Rangers supporters just weeks after joining on loan from Manchester United for the season.

The right-back joined Erik ten Hag's team on their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia in the summer.

After making an impression against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford before the Premier League began, Laird's short-term future was decided by the club.

He experienced loan spells in League One and the Championship in the two prior campaigns with MK Dons, Swansea City and Bournemouth.

However, last term his season was a mixed one with many appearances for the Welsh side before he moved across to Scott Parker's Bournemouth.

Game-time was few and far between for Laird at the Vitality Stadium and United were keen for him to have a full season of football this time around.

There were multiple clubs interested in the talented full-back, but QPR were the ones who managed to get his signature.

The right-back has since played three games for the The Hoops and has been impressing fans already.

He was crucial in their latest match against Watford, where he assisted Chris Willock with a wonderful cut-back in a 3-2 victory.

Following a great underlapping run, Laird played the ball perfectly so the onrushing winger could strike first time into the back of the net

Despite being there less than a month, the United loanee has made a brilliant first impression at the Championship club.

"Kenneth Paal and Ethan Laird were absolutely sensational," one fan said.

"Laird had a banger today. He's been here a fortnight and the understanding he has with the dynamic duo is so promising," another tweeted.

"Laird will be signing of the season I reckon. Love what I've seen from the kid so far," a third supporter raved.

He is not the only United full-back on loan who has impressed so far.

Alvaro Fernandez bagged two assists in his full debut for Preston North End.
