United officially announced on Monday that 21-year-old youth right-back Ethan Laird had been loaned out to Championship Queens Park Rangers for a one-year term. QPR is one of United's enemies, 10 years ago in the final round of the Premier League, the team gave up resistance after successful relegation, in the stoppage time by Manchester City two goals in a row to reverse, Aguero pressed the whistle to let the Blue Moon rely on goal difference advantage to force Manchester United to win the title.
However, United players still regularly join Queens Park Rangers, including celebrities Leo Ferdinand and Park Ji-sung, who left the Red Devils to play at Loftus Road Stadium. Laird is the latest to take part in the Championship in the QPR No. 27 shirt for 2022/23, making his debut at Tuesday's Queen's Park Rangers match against Blackpool.
Laird played in The Manchester United first-team pre-season, but Tenhag believes his rental workouts are more conducive to development. Championship-winning Watford were once very close to Manchester United's goblins on loan, but the Hornets then Signed right-back Mario Gaspar and Laird was no longer needed. Eventually, queen park rangers got him.
Laird is no stranger to playing in the Championship, he was loaned by Manchester United to Swansea and Bournemouth last season, while queen park rangers won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first three rounds of the season, and the record was not ideal. Coach Michael Beale hopes Laird can help the team revive and fight for the overtaking.
'Ethan (Laird) played in the pre-season in the First Team of Manchester United, which is why we needed some time and patience to complete this transfer. Beal said, "He's very aggressive in one-on-one attacks, he's capable of providing assists and scoring goals. He's still a young player and will fit in well into the dressing room and we're happy to have him." Laird said: "It's great, I'm so happy to finish the transfer and can't wait to start playing."
In addition to Laird, United's 19-year-old midfield talent Hannibal Mejbri is also close to being on loan to the Championship, and his next home will be Birmingham City. Birmingham beat Middlesbrough and Millwall, who are also in the Championship, will be on loan for Hannibal for one season, and negotiations have reached the final stages and an agreement is imminent.
Hannibal is already a Tunisian international and is expected to compete in the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year. But he mainly played in the No. 10 position, overlapping with his teammates such as Bruno Fernandes, Eriksen, Van de Beek and so it was difficult to get enough opportunities to play in the Manchester United first team, so Tenhag allowed him to rent out exercises. The Manchester Evening News said Manchester United had hoped he would join West Brom, which had a chance to upgrade, but the "lanterns" then gave up the fight.
Birmingham have often loaned Manchester United players in recent years, and last season the team had United's Chinese-Dutch right wingers Tahith Chong and centre-back Teden Mengi, both of whom were injured.
Now, United want Hannibal to exercise himself and gain experience. His 3 appearances on The Manchester United squad were filled with fouls and yellow cards, and he was close to being red. Manchester United spent 10 million euros to sign Hannibal from Monaco in Ligue 1 and naturally hope that the academy prince can thrive.
Hannibal will be United's fourth player on loan this summer, with Trays on loan to La Liga before him, with Dean Henderson on loan to Premier League promotion Manodinham Forest.
