Manchester United youngster Shea Lacey has finally got the news he wanted, he is back in the England youth set-up after two years away.
The talented winger has had a tough time with injuries, but now he is fit again and showing why many people call him one of the brightest young players in the country.
At just 18 years old, Lacey has already been compared to legends like Wayne Rooney. His skills on the ball, sharp dribbling, and clever passes make him stand out every time he plays.
But his journey has not been easy. Since late 2023, he has been hit with one injury after another, missing big chunks of football and slowing down his rise.
Injuries Finally Behind Him
During the 2023/24 season, Lacey was ruled out for months, and every time he came back, another setback seemed to follow. Fans began to worry if he would ever get a proper run of games. But now things look much better.
This season, Lacey has managed to stay on the pitch and is playing full 90-minute matches again. That fitness has opened the door for his England return.
He is now called up to the England under-20 side, alongside other United youngsters like Elyh Harrison, Ayden Heaven, and Ethan Wheatley. For Lacey, it is a massive step, showing his hard work and patience are paying off.
On The Edge Of United First Team
Lacey’s form is also turning heads at Old Trafford. He has trained with the senior squad before, and manager Ruben Amorim has shown faith in him by giving him a new squad number.
The feeling around the club is clear, if Lacey stays fit, his United debut is only a matter of time.
Fans saw glimpses of his talent on last year’s Asia tour, where he looked sharp in his short cameos. Teammates and coaches believe he has the quality to break through soon, especially with United needing more creativity in attack.
Future Looks Bright
For now, the goal is simple: stay fit and keep playing. If Lacey avoids injuries, this could finally be the season where he makes his senior debut for Manchester United and becomes a regular for England youth sides.
After two years of frustration, Lacey is back on track. United fans will be watching closely, hoping their young star keeps shining and fulfils the huge promise he has shown since day one.
