Manchester United wonderkid Shea Lacey scored an incredible solo goal during an age group match on Saturday - following on from a similar strike from earlier in the season.

The 15-year-old, who turns 16 next month, has been playing at U16 level for the Red Devils, amid calls for him to be featuring in a higher age group on a regular basis.

An attacking midfielder, Lacey has a penchant for special goals.

He netted a goal of the season contender against Wolves U18 in January, shrugging off the close attentions of several defenders with some brilliant skill before slotting the ball into the back of the net.

He was called up to the England U16 side in November, after impressing for United's U16 during the Adidas Generation Cup last summer.

The Red Devils clearly rate the youngster highly, having featured at U18 level already, but the following goal certainly suggests he could achieve even greater things in the future.

Man Utd wonderkid scores superb goal

During an match on Saturday, attributed by Twitter account @MUnitedFR as being an U16 fixture, Lacey, who is wearing the number seven shirt, received the ball on the left flank just outside the penalty area.

He then showed quick feet to cut inside beyond two defenders, before rolling the ball forward and taking another two defenders out of the move.

Lacey then moved out wide on his left foot, shrugging off another defender, before firing the ball into the bottom right corner in what was a superb finish to end a sensational piece of play.

Earlier this year, Lacey scored another stunning goal - this time in the indoor Rewe Junior Cup.

Facing off against three defenders, the attacking midfielder showed great skill to advance towards goal, before dropping the shoulder to get past the final defender. Finally, he then showed great composure to stop the play, before chipping the ball over the goalkeeper.
