Manchester United close to appointing Ewan Sharp to Ralf Rangnick's coaching team

The deal for Sharp to become an assistant coach and analyst is close to being finalized.

Sky Sports News has been told that the former Toronto FC coach is going to arrive from Lokomotiv Moscow, where the interim head coach was working.

The move bolsters United's backroom team following the departures of Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna, as Sharp worked as a performance analyst at New York Red Bulls.

The Toronto Sun once described how Sharp played an important role in match and post match analysis. He helped the scouting department in identification and recruitment.

The head coach of MLS side Toronto FC was sacked in July after just two wins in 15 games, and one of the people who worked with him was Sharp.

American Armas was appointed to the position of assistant coach by Rangnick, following the departure of Michael Carrick.

The first-team Manchester United coach left his role last week to become the manager of League One Ipswich Town.

Despite the appointment of Armas, Mike Phelan remained part of the coaching set-up at United.

The last two games of Manchester United's season were postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.
