Breaking news: Manchester United 'prepare to hire American coach Chris Armas, what a move from United .

Following the arrival of Ralf Rangnick, former Toronto FC manager Chris Armas is expected to join Manchester United's coaching staff.

After being hired as the first new member of Rangnick's backroom staff, Armas will seek to rehabilitate himself at Old Trafford. They've already worked together at the New York Red Bulls, so they're familiar with each other.

Rangnick was the head of sport and development for Red Bull's New York and Brazil clubs, while Armas was the American team's head coach.
