Laird seals permanent transfer

Now the youngster will be joining Birmingham, who have a good relationship with United after taking Hannibal on loan for the 2022/23 campaign.

Tahith Chong, a former team-mate of Laird’s, is also a key figure for the Midlanders, who are managed by John Eustace. 

Ethan could make his Blues debut against one of his former clubs, Swansea, in the Championship season opener, with a maiden home game lined up with Leeds United at St Andrew’s.

All at United would like to pass on our sincere best wishes to Ethan and we’ll be tracking his progress at his new club after successfully coming through our Academy and always being a popular figure at Carrington.
