Manchester United s "secret weapon" confirmed to join, and Cunha s signing with Mbemo has made contributions

After Matteus Cunia and Brian Mbemo joined, a key figure transferred to Manchester United from another core sports investment project under Jim Ratcliffe, which has had an impact on Old Trafford's signings. Manchester United's team welcomes strong aid - Michael Sansoni, the former core partner of Lewis Hamilton, officially joined. Sansoni has played for Mercedes F1 for more than ten years, helping the team win 8 team championships, and also helping British driver Hamilton win 6 of 7 championships.

Every F1 game will produce massive data, and Sansoni is experienced in analyzing data. While at Mercedes, he was promoted to performance engineer, specializing in Hamilton's event support.

Earlier this year, he left the team, which is owned by Jim Ratcliffe's Inex Petrochemical Company, to join Manchester United, a flagship investment project owned by the British billionaire. Sansoni has confirmed to serve as the club's new data director.

Manchester United said in a statement: "Sansoni will report to CEO Omar Bereda, responsible for improving the club's capabilities in the field of data and artificial intelligence, and drawing on his experience in machine learning and advanced modeling in the F1 field."

"His mission is to build Manchester United into a data-driven organization, embedding predictive analytics and AI-driven decision-making models in team operations and the club's various fields. To achieve these goals, it is planned to further recruit talents from the fields of data, software and platform engineering in the next few months to help Sansoni build a team."

Obviously, the new player has quickly put his work into the work. Sansoni posted on LinkedIn that Manchester United's two major signings this summer - forwards Matteus Cunha and Brian Mbemo (a total of £133.5 million) are the early results of his data-driven signings.

"I am very lucky to have two dream jobs. After spending great time in F1, I am deeply honored to join the world's largest football club."

"We have made substantial progress over the past few months. New approaches have gradually taken shape, and two outstanding signings - Matteus Cunia and Brian Mbemo have reflected the results of our early work."

"I took over a good team: they are smart, dedicated and eager to make changes. We are working together to build a world-class data and AI department to support decisions in all areas of the team and club. The challenges are huge, but the opportunities are equally extraordinary."

This summer, Manchester United also signed striker Benjamin Sesco from Bundesliga RB Leipzig, with a total transaction price of up to £74 million. In addition, the team is closely connected with Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba - if the Seagulls are willing to sell, his transfer fee will be expensive.
