Revealed: The new state-of-the-art technology Man United will bring to Old Trafford to help player analysis

Manchester United will install the state-of-the-art tracking technology at Old Trafford and Carrington after extending their partnership agreement with Statensports.

The fixed infrastructure will be used in the stadium and the training ground after Monday's announcement that the Stars of United 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 analysts to follow the players more accurately in action, which saves coaching staff for up to 20 hours a week, which can now be spent on deeper analysis or giving better feedback.

United said in a statement that the new agreement “strengthens the dedication of the club to implement the best-in-class performance hardware solutions.”

Ed Leng, head of physical performance at United, added: 'At Manchester United we always want to push the limits of player performance.

'Wearable trackers are an essential part of that process, and we are grateful for the continuous support and partnership of Statensports.

'Their Apex 2.0 trackers will enable us to unlock deeper insights for all players for men and women who span all training environments, from Academy to First Team.

“By expanding our fixed infrastructure at Carrington, Old Trafford and Leigh, we will improve real -time tracking options to help us better prepare, develop and protect our players.”

Sean O'Connor, co-founder of Statsports, said: 'Manchester United is a benchmark for ambition and excellence.

'This extension of the supplier partnership is proof of their belief in the value of powerful performance and our role in delivering it.

'Apex 2.0 trackers enable United staff to obtain accurate information with regard to the availability of players, individual development and team performance.

“With the addition of fixed infrastructure in both training and matchday environments, we help to bed in every touch point in every touch point.”
