Manchester United appoint sports psychologist Sascha Lense and coach Chris Armas as part of Ralf Rangnick's overhaul of backroom staff at Old Trafford with pair awaiting work visas

Ralf Rangnick's imprint on Manchester United is beginning to take shape after the club confirmed the imminent arrivals of Chris Armas and Sascha Lense as members of his backroom staff.

Coach Armas and highly-rated sports psychologist Lense are awaiting work visas ahead of becoming part of Rangnick's new-look staff but it was announced on Tuesday that both are coming to Old Trafford.

Lense was introduced to players at United's Carrington training base on Monday. The 46-year-old former midfielder previously worked with Rangnick at Schalke and Red Bull Leipzig but will have to wait for clearance on his visa before he can begin applying his well-regarded techniques to United's squad.
