Manchester United’s academy is known for producing world-class talents and now another wonderkid looks on the verge of a breakthrough.
According to the Daily Mail, United stars have been impressed by Shea Lacey’s technical level.
People close to Lacey are finding it hard not to get excited, with his fitness and form coming together at the perfect time.
Former club captain Harry Maguire has taken the youngster under his wing, ensuring he feels settled in the first-team environment.
The teenager is widely viewed as one of the brightest talents in English football and is edging ever closer to his senior debut.
Lacey has predominantly played as a right winger at the youth level.
Armed with dazzling footwork and sharp body feints, he regularly leaves defenders chasing shadows.
He is a technically gifted forward who thrives on creativity and has the vision to unlock stubborn low-block defences.
The 2007-born winger has already trained with the first-team and has left manager Ruben Amorim impressed with his sky-high potential.
His recent performances prove his talent is miles ahead of others in his age group.
He came on as a substitute against Crystal Palace and scored a late brace for the United Under-21s.
Injuries have stalled his progress so far, denying him a true breakout campaign.
United must now protect him carefully because his career has the potential to develop into one of the very best in world football.
Every time a youngster shows flashes of breathtaking talent, the excitement is undeniable.
Yet, surviving and thriving in the Premier League is not just about skill, but about grit and mental toughness.
For Lacey, time and a bit of luck with injuries could be the key to shining at the very highest level.
