Manchester United look like a much more dangerous team in the 2025/26 Premier League season under Michael Carrick and suddenly look like good bets to make it back to the Champions League, and it is a speedy, dynamic attack that is the heart of it.
Unsurprisingly, last season’s 20-goal hero at Brentford, Bryan Mbeumo, has been the star of the show and the most important forward for Man United, but in the last few weeks, high-priced young striker Benjamin Sesko has looked like a star, too, and the best striker Man U have had in ages.
Both are wicked fast, too, usurping young Amad Diallo as the fastest players on Manchester United. But who is No. 1 and who else makes the list? Here are the top four fastest players based on peak recorded times in kilometers per hour during the 2025/26 Premier League season, via SimplyUtd.
1. RW Bryan Mbeumo, 36.3 vs. Fulham
2. ST Benjamin Sesko, 35.3 vs. Newcastle United
3. RM Amad Diallo, 34.6 vs. Tottenham
4. RB Diogo Dalot, 34.6 vs. Liverpool
The future of Manchester United’s attack is in great hands with Mbeumo still in his prime and both Sesko and Diallo only scratching the surface on the world-beaters they will become at Old Trafford. And best of all, they are already top players in the Premier League.
