Manchester United fans have singled out the one player that has to be given a more prominent role after Man United's stunning win over Roma.

United finally put an end to their dismal winless streak as they came back from being 2-0 down to Roma to win 3-2 following a spectacular second half at Old Trafford.

A penalty scored by captain Bruno Fernandes and a stunning brace from Matheus Cunha was enough to come back and secure a vital win, but neither man is the player getting all the praise on social media.

Man United fans demand Michael Carrick starts star vs Aston Villa after Roma win

A crazy 30 minutes saw Fernandes miss a penalty before retaking it and scoring United's first goal before Cunha scored two and then picked up a second yellow card that will see him miss the next Champions League fixture.

But, the one thing that has got fans on social media talking is the performance of another player, Shea Lacey.

"Shea Lacey is a huge talent completely changed the intensity of the game," one fan wrote on X.

Another added: "Hope Michael Carrick has been watching this superb cameo from Shea Lacey. He should have started."

With one writing: "Shea Lacey must start more. He has talent, clearly. But he also takes risks in the final 3rd. He actually tries things. And he loves the club, which is more than can be said for many."

While one joked: "Lacey has to be first choice RW. Shea bad boy Lacey best scouser to grace the prem other than Rooney."

In what could be a decisive fixture for Carrick's future as head coach, United face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday as their final fixture before the international break.
