Revealed: United's Fastest Player In 2015/16

Manchester United's fastest player in the 2015/16 Barclays Premier League season has been revealed as Anthony Martial.

The France international came out on top by recording the top speed, as published by Opta and tracked by analysts Tracab. The fleet-footed forward logged a time of 35.25 kilometres per hour during the 3-3 draw at Newcastle United in January.

Martial was the only man to top the 35 km/h mark, which was the highest figure set last term by Wayne Rooney. This time around, Marcus Rashford features in the runners-up slot after sprinting at 34.83 km/h in the 2-0 triumph over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Luke Shaw showed why his speed was missed on the left flank by featuring twice in the top five, despite being injured for most of the campaign, with centre-back Chris Smalling the other player on the list.

Some 20 different Reds clocked top speeds in individual league matches over the course of the season, with the last one to do so, perhaps a little surprisingly, Michael Carrick in the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth.
