Bryan Mbeumo takes second place in Premier League speed ranking

Bryan Mbeumo has claimed second place in the Premier League’s speed ranking after five matches, strengthening his status as a key part of Manchester United’s attack. The Cameroon international is behind only Bradley Barcola in the early-season list.

Mbeumo recorded a top speed of 35.36 km/h during Manchester United’s third-round fixture against Everton. Barcola leads the ranking at 35.93 km/h, leaving Mbeumo 0.57 km/h short of the top mark. No other player in the supplied standings has exceeded the Manchester United winger’s figure.

The speed statistic reflects a positive beginning to Mbeumo’s campaign. He has scored two goals in five Premier League appearances and has become one of the important attacking options in Michael Carrick’s plans. His form gives the ranking added significance, with his pace accompanying a productive start rather than standing alone as an isolated figure.

Mbeumo is a right winger and joined Manchester United from Brentford during the 2025-26 season in a move valued at €75 million. Before his time at Brentford, he developed at Troyes. The 27-year-old, who has Cameroonian and French citizenship, is with Cameroon during the international break for the friendly against Ivory Coast in Abidjan on October 3. His second-place ranking gives Manchester United one of the Premier League’s fastest players while the competition pauses for national-team fixtures.
