Mercedes' Sansoni could lead Man Utd data drive
Briefly

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has voiced concerns about Manchester United's outdated approach to data analysis, stating it is necessary for modern football success. He believes that leveraging data effectively could transform the club's recruitment strategy, which has struggled under previous management. Ratcliffe's link to Formula 1 through Ineos might empower him to bring in talent like Mercedes' engineer Michael Sansoni to enhance the club's analytical capabilities. This revitalization is crucial, as the club has invested heavily in new players but has seen minimal success, unlike smaller clubs that utilize data more effectively.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe emphasized Manchester United's need to modernize its data analysis practices, claiming the club is 'still in the last century of data analysis'.
