The fastest player on the pitch (for this game) was none other than Red Devils captain Wayne Rooney!
The English forward reached a top speed of 32.7 km/hr (20.3 mph) when he tried to outrun QPR’s Rio Ferdinand. Di Maria comes in second, just a tad bit slower at 32.3 km/hr (20.1 mph) followed by substitute Valencia and defender Jonny Evans who were tied at 32.2 km/hr (20 mph).
Both full bakcs Marcos Rojo and Rafael also went over 30 km/hr while Adnan Januzaj didn’t have enough time to actually show his pace, clocking a top speed of just 25.7 km/hr (15.9 mph).
Meanwhile, Ander Herrera covered the most distance for the Red Devils – a total of 12.2 km. He was closely followed by Daley Blind (11.9 km) and Rojo (11.4 km).
