It has been suggested that Derby County should attempt to sign Manchester United's young English right winger, Shea Lacey, on loan during the January transfer window. It is also suggested that United could be open to loaning the 18-year-old to a Championship club to aid his development with regular playing time. A temporary move may be beneficial as Lacey's first-team chances at Old Trafford may be reduced following a recent suspension and the return of other forwards. Derby is considered an ideal destination because they seek to strengthen their squad for an effort to secure a play-off position and have a reputation for developing young players. Manchester United would likely view Derby as a suitable place for their player, and the move is considered potentially low-risk for both clubs. This season, Lacey has made two Premier League appearances and has been capped twice for the England U20 team, scoring one goal. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated to be €500k.
