STATSports Support Manchester United’s Player Performance & Development
STATSports’ Apex 2.0 GPS trackers to support Manchester United’s player performance and development across training and match environments.
Manchester United and STATSports have agreed a long-term renewal of their GPS performance tracker supplier partnership, reinforcing the club’s commitment to implementing best-in-class performance hardware solutions under new head coach Ruben Amorim.
STATSports’ Apex 2.0 GPS performance trackers – the only trackers to receive FIFA’s highest performance certification – will continue to be utilised by Manchester United to track on-pitch performance.
As part of the new agreement, STATSports will also provide fixed infrastructure and Local Positioning Systems (LPS) at both Carrington and Old Trafford, enabling accurate tracking across the club’s performance environments.
Edward Leng, Head of Physical Performance at Manchester United, said: “At Manchester United, we’re always looking to push the boundaries of player performance.
“Wearable trackers are a vital part of that process, and we’re grateful for STATSports’ continued support and partnership.
“Their Apex 2.0 trackers will enable us to unlock deeper insights across all men’s and women’s players across all training environments, from academy to first team.
“By expanding our fixed infrastructure at Carrington, Old Trafford and Leigh, we’ll enhance real-time tracking capabilities helping us to better prepare, develop, and protect our players.”
Sean O’Connor, Co-Founder of STATSports, added: “Manchester United are a benchmark for ambition and excellence. This supplier partnership renewal is a testament to their belief in the value of high-performance and our role in delivering it.
“Apex 2.0 trackers enable United’s staff to obtain up-to-date accurate information in respect of player availability, individual development and team performance.
“With the addition of fixed infrastructure across both training and matchday environments, we’re helping embed a world-class performance culture across every touchpoint.”
