Amorim Backs Lacey to Keep 88-Year Record Alive

Teen ace Shea Lacey could be United’s next breakthrough

Ruben Amorim is tipping 18-year-old Shea Lacey to step up for Manchester United as the club guards its 88-year tradition of academy talent in every squad. The winger’s sharp form in the Vertu Trophy has impressed coaches and hinted at a first-team debut soon.

If Lacey shines in December, he won’t just keep the record alive—he might make fans forget that the last thing to last this long at Old Trafford was the queue for halftime pies.
