โIt feels brilliant, and I am delighted to get it over the line. I canโt wait to get started,โ Laird told QPRโs official website.
โI like to play with confidence and be exciting, and I feel I have the freedom to do that here.โ
QPR manager Michael Beale added: โObviously, it is nice to take a boy from Manchester United and for them to trust us with one of their best young players in terms of developing him onwards and upwards.
โHe has done really well in the Championship already, and I think he is someone we can be really excited about.
โI like the full-backs to be an addition to our attack, and he provides that. He is very aggressive in terms of one-versus-one attacking, and he is capable of providing assists as well as goals.โ
