"The highly-rated teenage winger was sent on by caretaker manager Darren Fletcher to replace Mason Mount for the final 28 minutes of Sunday's all-Premier League third-round clash with Brighton at Old Trafford, making only his third appearance in senior football. However, it turned into an afternoon to forget for Lacey, who was shown two quick-fire late yellow cards for fouls on Yasin Ayari and Ferdi Kadioglu."
"I want to apologise to all of my teammates staff and the fans, the 18-year-old wrote via his official social media channels, alongside pictures of himself leaving the pitch with his shirt over his head. 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."
"Michael Carrick has now reportedly become the new favourite to be named as the club's interim manager in the next 48 hours ahead of Saturday's visit of Manchester City to Old Trafford in a lunchtime Premier League derby, edging ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after both candidates held face-to-face talks with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox."
An 18-year-old winger made only his third senior appearance when he was brought on for the final 28 minutes at Old Trafford. He received two late yellow cards for fouls on Yasin Ayari and Ferdi Kadioglu and was sent off. Manchester United lost 2-1 to Brighton, with Benjamin Sesko's late goal insufficient after Brajan Gruda and Danny Welbeck had scored. The defeat eliminated United from the FA Cup at the first hurdle and represented the earliest double domestic cup exit in 44 years after a Carabao Cup elimination by Grimsby. Michael Carrick is reported to be favourite for the interim manager role. The winger apologised publicly and had earlier made brief appearances against Aston Villa and Burnley.
