Who was United's fastest player in 2022/23?

We reported in November that Portugal international Diogo Dalot had clocked our quickest time, and the fifth-fastest overall in the Premier League, at 35.76 km/h.

However, this has been topped by Marcus Rashford, somebody usually acknowledged as the player with the most pace in the squad, and a player who has landed this accolade in the past.

The England forward's runs beyond defences has certainly been a feature of his excellent 30-goal season.

We can reveal that official Premier League tracking data shows Rashy pipped Dalot to first spot, with winger Antony the other player to top 35 km/h at any point during a league game last term, showing his acceleration down the right flank.

Luke Shaw, a man who has been described as rapid plenty of times in the past, was in fourth place, one ahead of fellow full-back Tyrell Malacia.
