Manchester United have added another member to their backroom staff in the form of Southampton's lead data scientist Alex Kleyn as Erik ten Hag's revolution continues.
It was reported last November that United had started a new process of recruiting data scientists, analysts and engineers as they aim to become elite in that area. Director of data science, Dominic Jordan, spearheaded the approach after he joined the club in October 2021.
Now, according to TGG, United have appointed Kleyn to bolster their data science team following a successful five-and-a-half years at Southampton. Klein moved to the south coast club in September 2017 as a data analyst, before being promoted to lead data scientist less than 18 months later.
