#3 Ethan Laird (Bournemouth)
It's been a while since Manchester United have had a good attacking right-back. Ethan Laird, currently on loan at Bournemouth, is one of their own and fits the profile of the full-backs they're on the lookout for.
Trending
He had an impressive loan spell with Swansea City in the first half of the season before being recalled by Manchester United in January.
In 20 Championship appearances for the Swans, Laird picked up three assists. He is an enterprising full-back whose best work comes in the final third. The 20-year-old is a good ball progressor and his link-up play is quite slick as well.
While his final product could use some improvement, there's plenty of time for him to work on that aspect of his game.
#2 Brandon Williams (Norwich City)
Brandon Williams had become a bit of a mainstay in the Manchester United starting lineup in the 2019-20 season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. A teenager at the time, Williams made as many as 42 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils that season.
He can play at right-back as well as at left-back. Given how awful the Manchester United full-backs have been this season, Williams could really stake a claim for a starting berth next term.
Williams is not the most technically gifted player and his attacking game has its shortcomings, but he is all about grit and determination.
The loan move to Norwich City has worked out well as Williams is starting at left-back almost every week. He has started 19 Premier League games so far this term. Despite struggling in the first couple of months, Williams has enjoyed an upturn in form of late and was chosen as Norwich's Player of the Month in January.
#1 James Garner (Nottingham Forest)
Among all of Manchester United's young players who are out on loan, James Garner looks the most likely to become a fixture in their first team in the future. Garner had a very good loan spell with Nottingham Forest in the second half of the 2020-21 season and had become a fan favorite at the club.
He has been shipped out to them for the entirety of the 2021-22 season. Garner has stepped it up this season and has been very influential for Forest in the centre of the park. He has been one of the chief architects behind their rise from the bottom of the table to attain the status of playoff contenders.
Garner has produced clutch performances in Forest's FA Cup campaign against the likes of Arsenal and Leicester City. Manchester United's midfield needs some serious upgradation and it remains to be seen whether Garner is part of their long-term plans presently.
But one thing's for certain and it is that he certainly needs to be. Garner has made 32 appearances across all competitions this term, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
He is starting to garner interest from multiple Premier League clubs and Manchester United ought to fend off all that interest because Garner is sheer quality.
