Often compared to Phil Foden for his unique balance and technical superiority, Shea Lacey is one of the most talented youth players in the country.

Shea Lacey’s a modern attacker who excels in various forward positions, he is most effective when drifting inside from the right and finding space to exploit the opposition’s defence.

Born in Liverpool, the attacker’s father chose Manchester United over Liverpool due to the better facilities and opportunities available in Manchester.

Having signed his first professional contract at the end of April, Lacey has unfortunately faced injury struggles over the past year but has recently returned to fitness.

Manchester United will be hoping for a swift return to action for the youth teams, and he could potentially make his debut in the Europa League once fully fit.
