Smalling wants United race
Chris Smalling has challenged Manchester United 'speedsters' Ashley Young, James Wilson and Angel di Maria to a race.
The centre-half was named by striker Wilson has the fastest player in the squad back in February, and Smalling is happy to test the theory.
"I'd say I would back myself against the majority, whether it be 5-10 meters or 40 meters to be honest," said Smalling.
"It might surprise a few people, but I think if you ask most they wouldn't want to race me.
"Who else is up there? Wilo (James Wilson), Angel is and I'd probably say Youngy is as well - they're all speedsters."
When asked if they had ever raced, Smalling said: "No, we haven't really. When we do warm up we do 5-10 meter sprints, but generally in four or fives so it's not an actual race.
"But hopefully, come pre-season, we can put that to bed and have a race. I'm game for that."
