We’re going to put this one down to a lack of candidates.
James Wilson hasn’t exactly become a regular at Manchester United but he’s still played against a fair few speedsters in the few chances he’s gotten in the side.
He has played against the likes of Raheem Sterling, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Eden Hazard during his limited playing time which makes the choice of the fastest player he’s come up against all the more shocking.
Asked by ManUtd.com for his fastest opponent, Wilson said: “I’ll say Stephen Ireland.”
We never knew that Ireland was renowned for his speed and the folks over at EA Sports clearly didn’t either.
