Manchester United left back, Luke Shaw has defended himself on social media after Romelu Lukaku leaked squad data suggesting he was the most sluggish player at Old Trafford.
Lukaku, who has agreed to a €9 million (£8.24m/$10m) yearly contract with Juventus, shared a clip yesterday showing the results of a speed test from United’s training, with the Belgian clocking the 2nd highest speed of the session at 36.25kph.
With the Portuguese defender, Diego Dalot recorded as the quickest speed of 36.43kph on the test, his co full-back, Luke Shaw recorded the lowest score for all players tested at 31.03kph.
Shaw’s recorded speed placed him below Manchester United teammates like Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Scott McTominay.
Mata had this to say, “Thanks for finally showing the world that I’m quicker than Luke Shaw bro,”
Shaw then used his Twitter account to explain why he was so low on the list.
His words, “They only wanted me to go 70% don’t let me start speaking on you boy.”
