It's very possible United is the last PL club without proper Data Analytics at this point, though I don't know about Luton to be fair. Many of the even smaller-to-medium size teams are Statsbomb customers now. Brentford, Brighton, Liverpool and Arsenal have their own proprietary departments and algorithms. Man City hired Laurie Shaw a couple of years ago to build one for them. I had hoped something had changed at Utd but I suppose nothing really should be expected to happen without new owners.

Last year we sacked senior members of our scouting staff just before the summer window opened, the ineptitude runs deep at our club 😅

That was hilarious timing. Though if I remember correctly those were the people who hadn't ordered a single scout report on Nkunku while he was available so you know, maybe not a massive loss in the end.
