On Monday, Manchester United youth player Shea Lacey scored a hat-trick. Lacey was named man of the match in the Under-21s’ 5-1 win over West Brom in the Premier League 2.
West Brom took the lead in the fourth minute, but Lacey leveled six minutes later before converting a penalty to put United ahead. The 18-year-old finished his hat trick in the second half.
Lacey has six goals in his last three games for the U21s. The energetic forward has had a fantastic run of success since returning to academy fixtures to win regular playing time.
Michael Carrick has an almost full-strength first-team senior roster available, and he inherited a side that had already been eliminated from both cup tournaments, making opportunities for young players difficult to come by.

Lacey, on the other hand, impressed in cameo appearances against Burnley in the Premier League and Brighton in the FA Cup while Darren Fletcher was caretaker, and he has continued to practice with the first team. According To manchesterevening news.
Lacey’s hat-trick against West Brom propelled the U21s to the top of Premier League Two. Adam Lawrence is now in command of the U21s, having returned to the club for the remainder of the season.
Last week, Lacey scored a free kick against Brighton in front of Carrick. The United temporary manager was photographed on the sidelines with the academy’s director, Stephen Torpey, and Fletcher. Ruben Amorim made Lacey’s senior debut against Aston Villa in December.
