1) His brothers are Liverpool fans, but he is United through and through


Lacey was actually born on Merseyside, along with his brothers Paddy and Luis.

Paddy rejected United in favour of Liverpool’s academy as he is a supporter of the Reds, along with Luis.

However, Shea is a Red Devil, and he has come up through the ranks at Carrington since joining the academy at a young age.


Lacey made his debut for the club’s Under 21s back in the summer, and he has gone on to score against senior opponents in the EFL Trophy, bagging a goal in a group game against Notts County earlier this month.
