Preston fullback Laird wants his Man Utd goal bonus - from his Nan!

Preston North End fullback Scott Laird is seeking a scoring bonus - from his Nan!

Laird scored in Monday's FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

"Every time we scored as kids, she used to give me and my brothers a pound," Laird told BBC Somerset the day after scoring against the 20-time English champions.

"Even though I'm 26 now, I still carry that tradition on.

"She was the first person I rang last night and I said 'I want that pound'.

"I tried saying I wanted a bit more because it was against Manchester United, but she says that wasn't in the contract."
