Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero has labeled Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado as the quickest opponent he has ever faced.

In an interview with United's official website, Romero said the Colombian winger, currently on loan at Juventus, is by far the fastest opposition he has seen.

"There are lots of them, but I was really surprised by just how quick the Colombian, Juan Cuadrado, is," said Romero.

"He's an attacking midfielder who is comfortable playing anywhere across the midfield and who likes to get forward on goal and has a great shot on him. But what stands out about him is that when he picks up the ball in the middle of the pitch, he runs those 40 or 50 metres towards the opposition goal with ease."
