Manchester United youth coach Travis Binnion has spoken about teenage talent Shea Lacey this week.

The Red Devils' youngsters enjoyed a positive UEFA Youth League game on Tuesdsay, beating Galatasaray's U19s 3-0.

The United side, which had youngsters such as dan Gore and Omari Forson, were too strong for the Turkish team.

"He's got loads of ability. We don't hype him up, we let other people do that," Binnion stated of Lacey, who has been compared to Phil Foden.

"He's got lots to learn, but the quality is there for all to see, so he's got to make sure his mentality is there, how he sees things in games and if that matches his talent, he can keep getting better and better. You've seen today with his pass for Omari and coming on, he made a real difference.

"He was due to start today, but the manager made a couple of players available and he understands that Omari is three years older and a talented player himself, but then to come on and effect it as he did, it's really positive."
