MU wonderkid called up to senior England training with 2 other stars of future

A Manchester United wonderkid trained with England's senior squad today.

Shea Lacey, 18, was given the chance by Thomas Tuchel after impressing with Manchester United's under-21s.

Lacey, a right winger and atatcking midfielder, struck twice against Crystal Palace's U21s recently and has been training sometimes with Ruben Amorim's first team.

He has drawn comparisons with Phil Foden and Daily Mail Sport's Manchester United reporter Nathan Salt believes he has 'superstar potential'.

Alongside Lacey, Lakyle Samuel and Harrison Murray-Campbell were also given a shot at England's first-team session on Wednesday.

Samuel, 19, is a Manchester City defender on loan at Bromley in League Two. Murray-Campbell, also 19, is a defender on the books at Chelsea.

After getting involved with first-team training last month, Lacey left a lasting impression on Amorim.

He has had to overcome injury troubles in recent years but that has not stopped him being an incredibly positive player on the ball.

At a recent win away to Liverpool’s Under 21s a stand full of scouts - from EFL and Premier League clubs - got up to leave once Lacey went off. In their mind, the show was over.

Harry Maguire and others in the first team have been taken aback by Lacey’s level having seen him up close in training and calls are growing louder to get him closer to a first-team matchday squad.
