Manchester United 'close to finalising deal for ex-Toronto coach Ewan Sharp to become Ralf Rangnick's assistant' - with former New York Red Bulls performance analyst set to arrive from Lokomotiv Moscow

Manchester United are reportedly close to appointing former Toronto FC coach Ewan Sharp to become interim manager Ralf Rangnick's assistant and analyst.

Rangnick first worked with Sharp when the latter was a performance analyst at New York Red Bulls, but they later renewed their relationship at Lokomotiv Moscow.

Now Sky Sports News are reporting that Sharp is set to join from the Russian club - where Rangnick was prior to his appointment at Old Trafford - and will join Chris Armas as one of Rangnick's backroom staff in the dug-out.
