IT’S NECK AND NECK!



According to data recorded by Opta, Marcus Rashford was United’s fastest player in seven of this season’s 12 Premier League matches, while James clocked the top speed in the other five games.



Academy graduate Rashford has registered the quickest pace of any Red this campaign, after hitting 36.32 km/h against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford back in August.



The in-form no.10 almost beat that exhilarating speed when he was recorded sprinting at 36.15 km/h during last Sunday’s victory over Brighton.



New recruit James - who Ryan Giggs has described as the fastest player he’s ever seen - currently boasts 35.04 km/h as his greatest speed from a Premier League match so far this season.
