Ewan Sharp gets assistant coach job at Manchester United

Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Ewan Sharp, as assistant coach to interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick has already brought in former New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC head coach Chris Armas as an assistant, as well as sports psychologist Sascha Lense, having worked with both previously.

In a statement United said Sharp worked at Lokomotiv Moscow, alongside Rangnick, and is arriving as an assistant coach/analyst for the Reds.

The Scotsman has previously worked with New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC, while also having a two-year stint as director of performance analysis at Northwestern University in the United States.

Ewan’s role was performance analyst with New York Red Bulls, before taking up the position of assistant coach at Toronto FC in February of this year. He moved to Moscow last month.

Sports psychologist Sascha Lense has also been recruited as the Reds look to end 2021 on a positive note with fixtures scheduled against Newcastle United (away, on 27 December) and Burnley (at home, on 30 December).

First-team training resumed at Carrington on Tuesday, with a staggered return of the players, after the matches with Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion were forced to be postponed.
