Daniel James names Dalot, Rashford & himself as Man Utd's fastest players

Published on: 07 April 2020

There was a surprise inclusion when Daniel James named the three fastest players at Manchester United.

The Wales international is recognised as one of the quickest players in the Premier League and has demonstrated his lightening speed on the wing for United this season.

But when asked which of his team-mates can compete with him, James made the surprising admission that defender Diogo Dalot is one of the quickest players at the club.

‘It would be me, Diogo [Dalot] and Marcus [Rashford],’ James said.

‘I’ve not seen him full sprint, we’d have a good race I think.

‘Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] is very quick, I don’t think people realise how quick he is but [Diogo] is rapid. I don’t think you’ve probably seen it as much.’

However, there was no place for Anthony Martial who managed to record a speed of 22mph against Newcastle back in 2016 which matched Jamie Vardy's record.

Dalot has made just four Premier League starts with 10 appearances in all competitions after spending the majority of the season sidelined through injury.

His only goal came in the 6-0 victory over Tranmere in the FA Cup fourth-round.

James has made 37 appearances in all competitions during his first season with United, scoring four goals and making seven assists.
