    My friend posed this question on another board.

    His question was "Who is faster, CR or Giggs from back in the day (treble)?"

    I am asking that question for you guys, along with one of my own.

    Who is the fastest player ever to play for Man Utd in your opinions? Including these players along with others (Saha, older guys etc.)

    Fastest dribbling. I suppose that means top speed along with acceleration and turning/center of gravity.

    Giggs was the fastest player with ball on his feet, Andrei Kanchelski was the fastest without the ball.

    In that case, I would have to say Giggsy.

    Rooney's more about power and acceleration, he wouldn't come close to Giggs or Ronaldo in full flight...

    I also think with the ball at his feet, Ruud's pretty damned fast, Ronaldo hits it and runs and so does Giggs nowadays, but Ruud runs w/ ball attached to foot.
