Manchester United have announced the appointment of Scotsman Ewan Sharp as an assistant coach and analyst.

Rangnick first encountered Sharp at New York Red Bulls where he worked as a performance analyst - and the move bolsters United's backroom team following the departures of Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

Sharp's last post was at Lokomotiv Moscow, alongside Rangnick, and 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.

he Toronto Sun once described how Sharp played an important role in "opposition scouting, match planning, in match and post-match analysis. He also assisted the scouting department in identification and recruitment".

Sharp was a member of Chris Armas' coaching staff at MLS side Toronto FC for a six-month spell earlier this year prior to the head coach's sacking in July after just two wins in 15 games.

Rangnick appointed American Armas as his assistant earlier this month, following the departure of Carrick after his three-match spell in caretaker charge. (Sky Sports)
