From the source

Manchester United are weighing a significant selection decision ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Aston Villa, with talkSPORT reporting that Shea Lacey is in line for his first Premier League start under Michael Carrick.

It would be a bold move, but one that feels increasingly understandable given the circumstances around Old Trafford. United’s 3-2 comeback win over Roma in midweek changed the immediate mood, ending a run of ten matches without victory and easing some of the pressure that had built around Carrick.

More importantly, it highlighted the influence Lacey can have on a match, even in a short spell. The 19-year-old entered late on and shifted the momentum, producing the assist for Matheus Cunha’s winner after United had trailed by two goals.
