Manchester United have tied down a promising young star to a professional deal

Manchester United have completed the signing of Shea Lacey, a player dubbed "the Scouse Lionel Messi".

Merseyside-born Lacey comes from a family of Liverpool fans, but joined the Manchester United academy as a youngster due to his love of the Red Devils. With FA rules stating that players under the age of 17 aren't allowed to sign professional contracts, Manchester United had to wait to tie down the talent to a deal.
