Manchester United and STATSports have agreed a long-term renewal of their GPS performance tracker supplier partnership.
United use STATSports’ Apex 2.0 GPS trackers in training to record on-pitch performance.
The players wear the tracking vests under their shirts, which are often visible in training photos. The equipment provides statistics and Bruno Fernandes is understood to record the best running stats at Carrington.
The agreement between United and STATSports has been renewed to 'reinforce the club’s commitment to implementing best-in-class performance hardware solutions under Ruben Amorim'.
The head of physical performance at United, Ed Leng, 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 spanning 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, said: "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.”
The news comes after United essentially overhauled their nutritional department by hiring five new staff members and planning to hire another two employees.
