1 goal, 6 duels won, 84% pass rate: United starlet is only shining light of dismal night at Old Trafford

Manchester United suffered a disappointing loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in the third round of the EFL Cup. The Red Devils quickly took the lead, only to struggle in the second half, allowing Brighton to dominate the game. Despite the dismal performance, there was one bright spot: 19-year-old youth sensation Shea Lacey. Lacey made his senior debut and scored the opening goal for United, impressively completing 84% of his passes.

The young midfielder completed 6 out of 10 duels and won 2 tackles, showing his combative spirit on the pitch. Although he attempted five dribbles, only one was successful. Lacey's performance, despite his limited impact in attack, provided a glimmer of hope for United supporters during a difficult week for the team.
