MASON GREENWOOD has named the four fastest players at Manchester United but left out speed merchant Dan James.
The young forward was asked for his perfect Red Devils lineup for a 4x100m relay and surprised some fans with his choices.
Greenwood has broken into United’s first team this season having been given a break by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
But it is his razor sharp finishing rather than electric pace that has seen him handed an opportunity.
While Greenwood is no slouch, when asked by Soccer Bible for his four United speedsters, he struggled to narrow it down.
He said: “Thats hard because weve got some really fast players.
“Ive got to have Marcus Rashford on the last bit, Brandon Williams too, hes rapid, Anthony Martial, and probably Diogo Dalot, because hes very fast as well.”
Rashford clocked this season’s fastest speed by a United player when he registered a blistering 22.57mph vs Crystal Palace.
But Greenwood’s omission of James makes no sense given the Welshman’s place as second fastest man.
The winger managed an impressive 21.76mph vs Leicester City and Greenwood backtracked somewhat when asked about his decision to leave himself and James out.
He quipped: “Oh yeah can it be 6 x 100m?”
James’ international boss Ryan Giggs previously claimed the winger was the “fastest player he’s ever seen“.
Greenwood also revealed his own athletic ability came from a love of all sports as a kid.
He added: “I just used to play football, a bit of athletics, rugby.
“All kinds of sports really. I was always good at the track events at school.”
