Manchester United wonderkid signs for prestigious agency who represent Wayne Rooney
Manchester United wonder Shea Lacey has signed with a company representing club legend Wayne Rooney, it has been reported.
The 16-year-old star, born in Liverpool but raised with United, is currently an academy member at the club's Under-18 level.
He had a penchant for scoring spectacular goals. In January, he scored the contender of the season against Wolves, landing a left-footed shot from close range into the top left corner.
And in April, it was Wolves' turn to receive Lacey's genie. The youngster sprinted toward goal, past several defenders for speed before slamming the ball past the keeper and into the net from an unbelievably tight angle.

It is reported that a number of companies are interested in the attacking midfielder, who can play on either wing, but have opted to join the company that represents Rooney.
According to Transfermarkt, the group has six other Premier League footballers involved, with further links to Manchester United. Both Harry Maguire and Jack Butland are on board, along with current Everton and former United midfielder James Garner.
Lacey now hopes to start and become part of Erik ten Hag's first team in the coming years, following in the footsteps of current first-team stars Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
Rashford won the club's Player of the Season award on Monday, while Garnacho won the Young Player of the Year award last season. This time it belongs to current academy midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who made his Carabao Cup debut earlier this season.
