If Lacey wasn’t already considered one of the best youngsters in the league, his performance against Burnley certainly elevated him into that bracket.

Owen Hargreaves was impressed by Lacey, making the usual comparison with Phil Foden.

Now, McAllister, who Lacey will have played alongside for United’s U18 and U21 teams, has issued praise to the Liverpool-born Red Devil.

Tweeting, McAllister praised Lacey.

“First touch forward. No fear. Exciting the faithful behind the net. Injecting a spark into our football club within the space of 10 mins. Youth. Courage. Success.”

Lacey has only made two cameos for the Red Devils, yet in this time, he has made it extremely clear that he will be direct and play without fear, no matter the level.

If there is a player who embodies the reason Ruben Amorim wasn’t going to succeed at the club, it is Lacey.

Shea Lacey should start for Manchester United against Brighton

Lacey’s brief cameo was similar to how Kobbie Mainoo looked the part straight away when he broke through, and it is hard to imagine a scenario in which he won’t become a permanent fixture.

Jaydan Kamason said Lacey is ready, and he is right.

So this weekend, with United playing Brighton in the FA Cup and neither of Amad nor Bryan Mbeumo having returned from AFCON, so Lacey should start.

Fletcher is in charge against Brighton, and Lacey certainly did enough to prove he deserves to start or at least get a substantial amount of minutes.

Lacey on the right, Cunha on the left, with Patrick Dorgu at left-back, are the changes we would make, perhaps with Bruno Fernandes not risked, and so Jack Fletcher or Mason Mount start instead.
