Manchester United right-back Ethan Laird is set to join Watford on a season-long loan.
It is understood Laird, 20, has agreed to embark on a third Championship loan after spells at Swansea and Bournemouth last season.
Laird's move is expected to go through once United's pre-season schedule concludes with the visit of Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday.
