One player in particular caught the eye in terms of sheer pace.

Daniel James, who came on as a 74th-minute substitute and rounded off the scoring seven minutes later, recorded the fastest top speed of anyone in a red shirt by clocking up a run that was measured at 33.51 km/h, according to Opta.

The 21-year-old registered six sprints in total during his 20 minutes on the pitch, including added time, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men took advantage of the Londoners' tiring legs late on.

The Welshman’s acceleration played a major part in allowing Paul Pogba to thread him through for his goal, and that pace has been a popular topic of conversation following his summer move from Swansea City.
