Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick says it is "absolutely logical" to have an "an expert for the brain" among his coaching staff after appointing a sports psychologist.
Sascha Lense is one of two backroom appointments Rangnick intends to make once United can get the required visas.
Lense, 46, is a former second division player in Germany and worked with Rangnick at Schalke and RB Leipzig.
"For me it is absolutely logical," said Rangnick.
"This is not about putting them on the red sofa and holding hands with players.
"If you have special coaches for goalkeeping, physical education, strikers, fitness, you should also have an expert for the brain.
