Watford have opened negotiations with Manchester United for the loan of Ethan Laird, according to The Athletic.
The right-back featured twice for United on the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, enjoying just under an hour's worth of action. Laird spent last season out on loan at two different clubs and he could be set for another move.
The report says Watford are keen to bring in the defender, who had spells at Swansea and Bournemouth last season, on a season-long loan as they look to bounce back from relegation.
