Premier League reveals the moment Micky van de Ven clocked the fastest speed last season against Man United - but it wasn't for his amazing assist!
The Premier League have revealed the moment Micky van de Ven achieved the fastest speed in the top flight last season. Van de Ven has become famed for his blistering pace during his two seasons at Tottenham to date. The best example was the Dutchman's driving run against Manchester United in a 3-0 win back in September. He memorably beat two Man United players to the ball and raced through the centre of the Red Devils midfield, before beating Matthijs de Ligt and crossing to set up Brennan Johnson' opening goal. Van de Ven had only weeks earlier achieved a similar assist during a home victory against Everton. While the Dutchman's driving run against Man United was one of the most eye-catching sprints of the campaign, it was not his fastest speed of the season. Micky van de Ven set the fastest speed in the 2024/25 season, reaching 37.12 km/h in this race with Alejandro Garnacho ⚡️ — Premier League (@premierleague) June 12, 2025 The Premier League have revealed his fastest moment came in the same match at Old Trafford. Man United's Alejandro Garnacho had attempted to race onto a pass from Mason Mount on the wing during the first half. Footage shows Van de Ven turning on the afterburners to catch up to Garnacho and clear the danger by sweeping the ball out of play for a throw in. Van de Ven's sprint was clocked by the statisticians at 23.07mph (37.12 km/h), a top speed which remained unmatched during the rest of the campaign. The sprint was the fourth fastest speed recorded by a player in Premier League history. Van de Ven is responsible for three of the four fastest having clocked a record 23.22mph (37.38 km/h) against Brentford in January 2024. Kyle Walker posted the second fastest speed with 23.18mph (37.31 km/h), with Van de Ven again third on 23.13mph (37.23 km/h).
