    Do you know if you’ve finally employed a Data Analysis service of some kind or are you still lagging behind in that department?

    I remember back when United signed Wan-Bissaka Woodward was bragging about how he was chosen from a shortlist of 804 options and StatsBomb Podcast I believe it was were amazed that he didn’t realize that it wasn’t actually a thing to brag about but actually indicated an incredibly wasteful and inefficient scouting setup.

      Honestly I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re still behind the times. Rangnick often pointed out how inefficient the club was. LvG and Mourinho have also said similar things.

      Last year we sacked senior members of our scouting staff just before the summer window opened, the ineptitude runs deep at our club 😅
