Manchester United stars are living life in the fast lane on the pitch, after their outstanding start to the new Premier League season.
But Jose Mourinho’s 100 per cent Red Devils are being forced to slow down off it - after speed bumps were installed at the club’s training ground.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s Ferrari and Juan Mata’s Aston Martin DB9 may be able to top 200mph, but they and their teammates have no chance of getting anywhere near that mark around United’s Carrington Complex, with new traffic calming measures having been put in place.
United’s players had already been urged to tone down speeds earlier this year.
Players and staff have used a farm track short cut to get to training in recent years, and the club had urged them to slow right down to 5mph, to avoid potential crashes with tractors.
That dirt track was paved over in August, after stars complained of potholes and having to navigate the road in such a way as to protect their cars.
Yet, the new resurfaced entrance has apparently meant players were once again picking up their speeds on their way into the £60million complex.
But United players on their way to training on Friday found speed bumps have been installed on the new road, to keep speeds down.
United take on Stoke at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday, looking to make it four wins from four.
The Red Devils are yet to concede thus far, and have scored 10 times, while Mkhitaryan will look to match the record of Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas, by landing a sixth assist in four matches.
