Ralf Rangnick continues Manchester United rebuild with Ewan Sharp appointment

Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has added analyst Ewan Sharp to his staff behind the scenes at Old Trafford.

The Scotsman had previously been working alongside Rangnick at Lokomotiv Moscow and will join United in a coach/analyst hybrid role.

His arrival comes days after Kieran McKenna left the club in order to take his first step into full-time management with Ipswich Town.

Sharp joins Chris Armas, who was appointed assistant coach earlier this month, and the pair have previously worked together at New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC.

He came into the professional game through the US college system, spending two years as director of performance analysis at Northwestern University.

Sports psychologist Sascha Lense has also been recruited as United prepare to return to action following the postponement of their matches against Brentford and Brighton as a result of a coronavirus outbreak.

First-team training resumed at Carrington on Tuesday with a staggered return for the players ahead of their clash with Newcastle on December 27.
