Ethan Laird admitted he is loving life on loan at MK Dons from Manchester United.
The United youngster sealed a move to the League One side until the end of the season, getting his first taste of league football after coming through the ranks at Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old is highly rated at United and has already played three games for MK Dons, making his debut against Premier League opponents Burnley in the FA Cup.
Laird, who made two senior appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last season, opened up on life in Milton Keynes and is keen to keep learning from the football played by Russell Martin's men.
"It’s exciting," he told the MK Citizen. "I’ve had a few games which has been good for me and the manager has put trust in me which I’m glad he has. I hope I’ve impressed him what what I’ve done so far and long may it continue.
"I couldn’t ask for anything else to be honest. The way we play football so confidently - we play like it’s against mannequins! It shows our confidence in how to play football and us controlling the game helps us out. We can put the energy into going forward or pressing. I really do love the way we play."
Laird is among a number of young additions made by MK Dons in the January window and he explained how the new setting has made it easy for him to hit the ground running.
He added: "For me, personally, it’s easy because we all have one goal and one love which is football – it’s easy to get along with people. We want to do as well as we can and wins games.
"The new lads, even though I am one, they are great guys. The manager wouldn’t bring them in if they would spoil the team. It’s easy to get along because we all have the same goal."
