Manchester United are reportedly set to open a new department of data specialists to help them with recruitment.
According to The Athletic's David Ornstein (h/t MailOnline's Jeorge Bird), the Red Devils use video analysis to assess potential targets but don't do as much statistical analysis as other top clubs.
United are aiming to change that by bringing in eight specialists to a department led by a head of analytics, which will help them better identify players to recruit, as well as aiding their medical teams and academy.
