A chart showing max speed stats from a recent training session was uploaded to Twitter a few days ago by Lukaku (and since deleted).
I've only just seen it but may already be old news on here:

I'm guessing it was intended as a bit of fun but he has taken it down, don't think Ole and the coaching staff appreciated that information being made pubic and available to other clubs.
If you haven't already seen them:
1) Diogo Dalot - 36.43 km/h
2) Romelu Lukaku - 36.25 km/h
3) Tahith Chong - 36 km/h
4) Marcus Rashford - 35.71 km/h
5) Daniel James - 35.53 km/h
6) Chris Smalling - 35.28 km/h
7) Ashley Young - 34.85 km/h
8) Jesse Lingard - 34.38 km/h
9) Anthony Martial - 34.24 km/h
10) Phil Jones - 34.09 km/h
11) Mason Greenwood - 34.02 km/h
12) Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 33.91 km/h
13) Victor Lindelof - 33.62 km/h
14) Axel Tuanzebe - 33.55 km/h
15) Angel Gomes - 33.52 km/h
16) Paul Pogba - 33.41 km/h
17) Eric Bailly - 33.16 km/h
18) Andreas Pereira - 33.12 km/h
19) Marcos Rojo - 32.9 km/h
20) James Garner - 32.69 km/h
21) Scott McTominay - 32.51 km/h
22) Nemanja Matic - 32.26 km/h
23) Juan Mata - 31.79 km/h
24) Luke Shaw - 31.03 km/h
Luke Shaw (usually one of our quickest players) clocked the slowest time, but it has since been revealed he was asked to go 70% rather than full throttle.
From some stats released during last season by OPTA our speed merchants are:
Lukaku, Dalot, Rashford, Young and Shaw
All registered speeds approaching 35 km/h in Premier League games (first half of the season)
Expecting to see Ole's fitness regime result in players being quicker and running for longer this season.
The times in the data leaked by Rom already appear to be an improvement on the OPTA figures from last year.

Luke Shaw's 100% would be 44.33 km/h which is only 0.39 km/h off Usain Bolt's maximum speed of 44.72 km/h

Not bad for a lard@rse.

Max speed doesn't really mean much in football terms anyway. It's far more important how quick you are off the mark - would expect James and Rashford to top the charts on that one quite comfortably.

This, for footballers, its better to have great acceleration than max speed. Messi's destructive acceleration is what makes him so lethal....and the fact he can control and finish. Lukaku moves off like Bowser's kart in Super Mario kart.

You can add Maguire to that now. 15 km/h

Looks like Romelu was training with Anderlecht again today.

- Matic and Mata faster than Shaw?!

Full speed means little in football, agility, balance and acceleration are all more important.

Talking of slow that joke has already been made.*
*I do realise the hypocricy of calling you slow and then replying nearly an hour later though.

I play Lukaku on the right wing on Fifa, he's good when you do a cross field diagonal ball

When you say "Speed test" do you mean these are the results after they've dropped a few tabs each?
