The Telegraph is reporting that Ethan Laird will be recalled by Manchester United in advance of a loan move to Bournemouth for the second half of the season.

The news will come as a big blow to the Swans and Russell Martin after the on loan defender excelled during the first half of the season at the Swansea.com stadium but these reports mean that transfer plans will need to be rethought with Martin likely to seek a suitable replacement

No confirmation has yet been seen of the ongoing move to Bournemouth other than the Tweet from the reputable Telegraph journalist.
