Manchester United will install state-of-the-art tracking technology at Old Trafford and Carrington after renewing their partnership deal with STATSports.
The fixed infrastructure will be in use at the stadium and training ground following Monday’s announcement that United’s stars will continue to wear the Apex 2.0 GPS performance trackers.
Insiders said it will remove the need for portable beacons and enable the club’s analysts to monitor the players in action more accurately, saving coaching staff up to 20 hours a week which can now be spent on deeper analysis or providing better feedback.
United said in a statement that the new agreement ‘reinforces the club’s commitment to implementing best-in-class performance hardware solutions’.
