Manchester United 'prepare to hire American coach Chris Armas' as the first new member of Ralf Rangnick's backroom staff, five months after he was sacked by Toronto FC following the biggest loss in their HISTORY

Former Toronto FC manager Chris Armas is set to join the Manchester United coaching staff following the arrival of Ralf Rangnick.

Armas was fired by Toronto in July after less than six months in charge. During his time at the helm, Toronto suffered a 7-1 defeat to D.C. United – the worst margin in the club’s history.

Nevertheless, Armas will look to redeem himself at Manchester United after being recruited as the first new member of Rangnick's backroom staff.
