Bournemouth manager Scott Parker says he has been impressed by Manchester United loanee Ethan Laird, despite the youngster not yet playing a competitive minute for the Cherries.
The United defender completed a move to the south coast in January, cutting short his spell with Swansea City, but a hamstring injury has prevented him from making his debut.
Parker is looking to help Bournemouth back into the top flight after their relegation under Eddie Howe, and so far he has made solid progress as they sit second in the table - in the automatic promotion places - with two games in hand over their nearest challengers.
