Milton Keynes Dons have signed Manchester United full-back Ethan Laird for the rest of the League One season.

The 19-year-old has played two senior games for the Red Devils, both in last season's Europa League group stages.

England Under-19 defender Laird has been at Old Trafford since the age of 10 and is under contract until 2023.

"In terms of who I am - I'm quick, I like to dribble with the ball and I'm always looking to get in behind and put in crosses," he said of his loan move.
