Shea Lacey opened his Manchester United account in style on Wednesday, Sept. 16, scoring a tremendous goal against Brighton in the Carabao Cup.
Making his first start for United, the 19-year-old took just eight minutes to find the net. Lacey cut onto his left foot and drilled in a low shot at the near post from the top of the box.
It was the first senior goal at United for the academy product, who looks ready to earn a bigger role under Michael Carrick.
