How Watford could force Erik ten Hag into making Man Utd transfer U-turn

Ethan Laird's pending move to the Championship could be the saving grace for Aaron Wan-Bissaka's career at Manchester United.

Wing-back Laird went through a strange time last season. He was loaned out twice by United, first to Swansea City and then Bournemouth. Despite enjoying plenty of game-time at the mid-table Swans, his parent club decided to rip up the arrangement mid-season and re-despatch him to the Cherries.

Despite ending the campaign with a promotion on his CV, on a personal level it would be a disappointing spell with Laird featuring just six times for Scott Parker's side. Now, he is preparing for another temporary spell away from Old Trafford with a deal to send him to Watford on a season-long arrangement said to be close to completion.
