Ruben Amorim is introducing a higher standard at Manchester United

Since taking charge after Erik ten Hag’s departure, Amorim has demonstrated an uncompromising approach to squad management.

The tracker generates an extraordinary five million data points during each 90-minute period, delivering complete accuracy in its measurements.

This comprehensive data collection allows coaching staff to make informed decisions about players while sessions are still in progress.

Paul McKernan, STATSports’ managing director, revealed: “You can make decisions on the players based on data you see in front of you. Not waiting until after the session and downloading the data and saying ‘I wish Mason Mount had run a little bit further or done a few more sprints, or actually he did too much today’.”

The Portuguese coach has been explicit about his methods for addressing poor performances. “I will expect to be in one phase that I don’t need to do anything because they will push each other,” he stated.

“But if you train bad one time, I will you show the image in the moment. I will not speak with you, I will just speak. I will show you everything.”
