Manchester United have two of the quickest players at Euro 2024 so far this tournament, according to official data.
Striker Rasmus Hojlund’s blistering pace was a talking point even before he signed for Manchester United.
And despite his misfortune in front of goal at Euro 2024, Rasmus Hojlund did manage to catch the eye by setting one of the fastest speeds at the tournament during his group stage performances, faster than Kylian Mbappe.
Hojlund is not the only Manchester United player to set a fast time. The club have one of the quickest defenders at the tournament too.
Diogo Dalot among fastest defenders at Euro 2024
According to data provided via UEFA, right-back Diogo Dalot is among the fastest defenders at Euro 2024 so far.
The Portugal star is preparing to be called up for their upcoming quarter-final against France, where he may be tasked with keeping up with Mbappe.
Dalot ready when Portugal need him
Diogo Dalot has made two starts from a possible four at Euro 2024, with manager Roberto Martinez flitting between him and Joao Cancelo.
Dalot did not play in the last game, the penalty shootout against Slovenia, but made an important contribution.
The Manchester United right-back played a key role in settling down an upset Cristiano Ronaldo after his extra-time penalty miss.
The moment displayed Dalot’s leadership, which has developed under Erik ten Hag, where he has become a regular for the Red Devils.
Dalot played almost every game last season for Manchester United, just missing the away fixture at West Ham after picking up a red card away at Liverpool for two bookings.
Despite this near relentless schedule, it is testament to Dalot’s fitness that he still has the energy and pace to set a top speed that only two defenders have managed to better.
