Here is everything you need to know about Shea Lacey at Manchester United, including his age, stats, position and more.
In Carrington right now, some of the best players in the country are developing and looking to earn their spot on the list of Manchester United academy graduates.
However, in a jam-packed academy, with plenty of players with the potential to be future United first-team players, there is one who stands out above the others: Shea Lacey.
Lacey has long been expected to reach serious heights, and now his performances for the U21 side have caught the attention of both club and country.Here is everything you need to know about Lacey.
Who is Shea Lacey?
Shea Lacey is a professional footballer who currently plays for Manchester United and is on the verge of a first-team debut.
He looks to be a serious talent. The English ‘wonderkid’ has similarities to that of Wayne Rooney. Similar to Rooney, Lacey also hails from Liverpool but has opted to play for the Red Devils instead of the Reds.
We really do regard him as one of the next big things to come out of Manchester United. Watching him play. He just looks like he has the ‘it’ factor, and the decision makers agree.
United think Lacey is ready for first-team football, and his U21 form has made it inevitable.
Lacey has been involved in senior England training at the age of 18, which showcases how excited everyone is about him.
How old is Shea Lacey?
He was born on the 14th of April 2007, which makes him, at the time of writing, 18 years old.
What position does Shea Lacey play?
Shea Lacey is predominantly a right-winger who is also left-footed. He can also play attacking midfield, making him perfect for the left-10 role under Amorim.
It has also meant he has been likened to current England star Phil Foden, who operates in a similar way to Lacey.
How good is he?
There’s a reason Lacey has always been so highly rated around Carrington. Even when he was a 16-year-old, we knew he was destined for the stars.
He has the capacity to score absolute wonder goals and dazzle defences on that right-hand side. His strong performances on the international stage have only further contributed to his growing reputation.
We seriously wouldn’t be surprised if he breaks through to the first-team squad over the coming months, as Lacey has been impressing United’s senior players in training.
The only thing stopping Lacey was his injury problems, but hopefully these are now behind him.
