Man Utd: Sir Jim Ratcliffe is trying to use the Mercedes F1 competence to improve data analysis

Sir Jim Ratcliffe could use the involvement of Formula 1 of Ineos to help revolutionize Manchester United data analysis.

Among a wide range of criticisms at United, Ratcliffe used an interview with the United We Stand Fanzine to say that the club was “still in the last century of data analysis” and that “it doesn’t really exist here”.

Although the club spends significant quantities of money for data, Ratcliffe is determined to improve the situation.

And this could lead to the appointment of Michael Sansoni, an engineer at Mercedes.

No agreement has yet been agreed, but Ineos is an even owner in the Mercedes F1 team, which should smooth out the process.

Sansoni should leave Mercedes at the end of the year and sources say that a transfer to United would be similar to keeping him in the family and something that would be supported.

One of the main problems for United in recent seasons has been the recruitment.

A gross expenditure greater than £ 900 million in the five years from 2019-2024 is a figure exceeded only by Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal in the same period.

Few new arrivals could also be considered as qualified successes, with artists of the caliber of Antony, Jadon Sancho, Donny Van de Beek and Rasmus Hojlund alone who provide a small return for a total disbursement of £ 260 million.

It has not gone unnoticed at Old Trafford like Brighton and Brentford constantly punches their weight in terms of Premier League due to their use of data.

Ratcliffe is committed to making a better use of their financial muscles and believes that the data is a way to do it.
