About

Shea Lacey (, SHAY; born 14 April 2007) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for Manchester United. He has played youth international football for England up to under-20 level.

Lacey was born in Liverpool, and is the younger brother of fellow footballers Paddy and Luis Lacey. Lacey is of Irish descent. Lacey’s brothers
support Liverpool, but he is a Manchester United fan. He started playing football at the age of three, and also had an interest in boxing as a child. Lacey studied at Ashton-on-Mersey School and Sacred Heart Catholic College.

He also featured at the REWE Junior Cup in Gottingen, Germany, as well as a number of other international youth tournaments. He scored his first goal at under-18 level…
