Report: U.S.'s Chris Armas to Join Ralf Rangnick's Staff at Manchester United

This season in MLS was not a memorable one for Chris Armas, but he's evidently ending his year with a new, and prestigious, door opening abroad.

Armas, the former U.S. international and Toronto FC coach, will reportedly be joining Ralf Rangnick's coaching staff at Manchester United, according to ESPN. The connection isn't random, as Armas was previously in the Red Bull family as an assistant and head coach in New York, all while Rangnick was Red Bull's head of sport and development. Rangnick has shown his affinity for Red Bull's American coaches before, by bringing Jesse Marsch to Leipzig as an assistant prior to Marsch's appointment as Salzburg coach.
