Michael Sansoni helped build Mercedes’ data operation during an era of 8 F1 titles in 11 seasons.
If you don’t believe in a data-led rebuild, don’t celebrate if it brings Premier League and Champions League success.

Antony £82m
Sancho £73m
Hojlund £72m
Mount £60m
Zirkzee 36.6m
That's £323m with less than £70m received for departures.
We haven't won the league in 13 years not because we don't buy players but due to terrible recruitment.
Those trying to fix it are being tagged as visionless.
If Éderson turns out to be a hit in a market where every midfielder is £100m, the aura it gives the club will force others to respect us in negotiations. If that happens, I’ll never question the board again.
Some United fans are acting like we’re in a desperate position because a few midfield targets were taken, so now we must panic and overpay to prove ambition.
Wrong.
United are not in a bad position just because certain targets moved elsewhere. There are still multiple quality midfielders on the market.
You can’t convince me Manchester United hired a sporting director, scouts, and analysts just to bin all that work and do whatever a random United X fan account screams for.
If the strategy is simply “pay whatever they ask before someone else does,” then why even have a recruitment structure at all?
🚨🇳🇴 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Manchester United have shifted their focus to Fulham midfielder Sander Berge after refusing to match Tottenham's £85 million package for West Ham's Mateus Fernandes.🔴 #MUFC
INEOS and director of football Jason Wilcox view the 28-year-old Norwegian international as a smart and highly cost-effective option to strengthen Michael Carrick's engine room. Standing at 6-foot-5 and packed with Premier League experience, Berge would bring instant size, strength, and solid defensive protection to the squad ahead of a busy campaign.
💰 The Valuation: Fulham are keen to secure a profit on the £25 million investment they made to sign him from Burnley in 2024. With Berge under contract until 2029 plus a club option.
Reliable sources (including The Manchester Evening News, The Athletic, and journalist Ben Jacobs) have outlined the current midfield state of play and active potential targets apart from Sander Berge: 👇
• Alex Scott 🏴 (£80 million)
• Carlos Baleba 🇨🇲 (€55 million)
• Felix Nmecha 🇩🇪 (€100 million)
• Aurélien Tchouaméni 🇫🇷 (€70 million)
United's midfield rebuild is progressing behind the scenes and the message out of Old Trafford is loud and clear: a completely revolutionized, elite-level midfield unit is heading straight for the Theatre of Dreams this summer! 🔴⚪
