Bournemouth manager Scott Parker is pleased with Ethan Laird after what he admitted has been a tough loan spell so far for the Manchester United youngster.
Laird had a fine first half to the season on loan at Swansea City but since moving to Championship rivals Bournemouth, the 20-year-old has struggled with injuries. Despite joining in January, Laird made his first start for his temporary club on Good Friday.
Impressed with his efforts in a clean sheet for the Cherries against Middlesbrough, Parker gave Laird another start in the win against Coventry City on Easter Monday. When asked about United's youngster, Parker was quick to share his delight with the full-back.
