United have managed to turn around their season with new signings.
In recent weeks, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, two attackers for Manchester United, have gone viral for their incredible speed on the counterattack. But who was quicker?
With a string of dangerous runs throughout his tenure at Brentford, the Cameroonian winger had long been regarded as one of the Premier League’s fastest players.
However, the Slovenian’s pace is largely unknown to EPL fans because he only entered the English top division this season after moving for £72 million from RB Leipzig to Manchester United in August.
Join us as we take a look at the top five fastest Man United players in the 2025-26 season:
5. Diogo Dalot – 34.6 km/h vs Liverpool (A)
Right back Diogo Dalot has had a consistent season so far since returning to a back four. He recorded a top speed of 34.6 km/h against Liverpool. The number indicates that he is among the fastest defenders in the English Premier League overall and can go toe to toe with any fast attacker in the world.

4. Amad Diallo – 34.6 km/h vs Spurs (H)
From being an unused player under Erik ten Hag to becoming one of the most impactful players, Amad Diallo has come a long way and remains United’s most crucial player in the attack. Moreover, he is the club’s fastest player following his burst of pace against Tottenham Hotspur, as he registered a top speed of 34.6 km/h.
Diallo has turned his fortunes around at the club and has etched himself as the most promising star, where he now starts every game.
3. Benjamin Sesko – 34.9 km/h vs Newcastle (H)
The only United player who has been mentioned twice in this list is Sesko. The striker first left the centre-backs behind when he recorded a top speed of 34.9 km/h against Newcastle United.
Sesko has slowly turned into one of the potent strikers in the league and has continued to score goals off the bench, growing his stature more and more in the team.
2. Benjamin Sesko – 35.3 km/h vs Everton (A)
Benjamin Sesko can be a formidable presence in the box with his bulk and goal-scoring ability, but the league’s fans were unaware of his amazing speed. As a result, his incredible sprint that ended with the victory over Everton enthralled both spectators and commentators. Sesko rushed across the field to join Mbeumo on the counter, leaving his marker in the dust.
After spotting his teammate’s surge, the Cameroonian set him up with a straightforward pass. On their maiden visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium, Man Utd earned the three vital points.
1. Bryan Mbeumo – 36.3 km/h vs Fulham (A)
Thanks to an incredible run during the Fulham game in which he reached 36.3 km/h, Bryan Mbeumo is still at the top of the speed statistics for the Red Devils.
Curiously, the Cameroonian star made the headlines against West Londoners for another sprint. In the 90th minute, while tracing back to assist his teammates in defence, Mbeumo also outpaced Adama Traore.
