Manchester United wonderkid Shea Lacey has apologized for the petulant red card that he picked up in an FA Cup clash with Brighton. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he feels as though he let everybody down after he was dismissed towards the end of the forgettable 2-1 defeat, and he’ll surely do everything he can to make things right.
Fletcher added that it was poor refereeing for the youngster to receive a yellow card in the first place.
His words, “I want to apologise to all of my team-mates, staff and the fans. I let everybody down tonight. I shouldn’t let my emotions get the better of me. I will do everything I can to make this right.”
Fletcher said, “Shea Lacey’s yellow card is ridiculous compared to the fouls that we had against us all game, which ultimately then the lad makes a mistake and is sent off. For me it is poor refereeing.
He’s disappointed because he cares and he understands and he knows he will learn from it. There is no doubt about his talent. It was a steep learning curve today but we believe in Shea. He’s one of our most exciting young prospects and I’m sure at Old Trafford he will have a chance to make amends for that in the future.
I said to him to stay wide and go and do what you do. He did that and stayed wide on the right. I know he is going to make an impact, he’s creative and has got goals in him. He’s exciting, direct and fearless. He hit the crossbar and had another shot and had a really bright game. I’m pleased for him. He’s had a lot of injuries in recent years and not really got going with his momentum but we know he’s a talent who has got to be a big part of Manchester United’s future, I’ve no doubts about that.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
