British media "The Sun" reported that youth academy star Shay Lacey trained with the Manchester United first team on Friday to prepare for Monday's game with Everton.
Lacey has always been the leader among the young players expected to enter Amorim's roster. Although Lacey has been training regularly with the first-team squad, there are doubts over whether he will be called up to the Premier League squad by Amorim. Lacey was almost named in the squad for the October match against Sunderland, where goalkeeper Lamence made his debut.
With Zirkzee's future hanging in the balance. With Sheshko set to miss a month, Lacy will take on a larger role over the winter months. Lacey scored his first goal for England U20s last week and has been training with the England U21s and Tuchel's first-team squad since the start of the season. In the 5 games he started in the reserve team, Lacey contributed 3 goals and 2 assists.
For Lacey, the opportunity has come, because Mbemo and Ahmed will have vacant right-wing positions at the African Cup of Nations in December.
Manchester United U21 player Jack Fletcher was also spotted participating in training, having just returned from the international match. Fletcher was named as a substitute against Tottenham, continuing United's 88-year record dating back to 1937 of having at least one academy graduate in the squad for every game.
Fletcher was temporarily called up to replace Menu, who was slightly injured. Menu did not participate in Friday's training. Maguire and Sheshko were also absent from group training on grass. Sheshko will be sidelined until Christmas with a knee problem, but Maguire has not yet been ruled out of Monday's game.
At the same time, Lisandro, who has been absent for a long time, looked in good condition during the circle ball training. Lisandro joined the Argentina squad this month to continue his recovery. He has been sidelined since February with an ACL injury that required surgery.
