Manchester United youngster Shea Lacey has put pen to paper on a new contract.

The Red Devils have secured the talented academy product on his 17th birthday.

Lacey is one who the club believe can go all the way, but injuries have derailed his progress somewhat.

Should he be back fit, he will play for the Under-18s between now and the end of the season.

A possible promotion to the Under-21 level next term, per the Manchester Evening News, is likely.

United see Lacey as a first teamer, but they want to take their time with his development.
