Ralf Rangnick: Man Utd interim boss appoints new coach and psychologist | Donny van de Beek to start vs Young Boys

Ralf Rangnick has confirmed coach Chris Armas and sports psychologist Sascha Lense will join his setup at Manchester United, while both Donny van de Beek and Dean Henderson are set to start against Young Boys on Wednesday. Armas was head coach of New York Red Bulls from 2018 to 2020 before taking charge of Toronto FC until he was sacked in July this year. Rangnick, who was Red Bull's head of sport and development during Armas' spell in New York, also worked with Lense at RB Leipzig - and United's interim boss is hopeful work permits will be granted soon.

"We know each other. He will be introduced to the team as soon as he's got his visa. I hope we'll have him on board by Thursday "I will also have another assistant coach with Chris Armas. He was at New York Red Bulls when I met him. He will again hopefully be able to join us in the next few days." On the need for a sports psychologist, Rangnick said: "I don't know what the situation is like in England. Most German clubs have employed a psychologist. For me it is logical. If you have special coaches for goalkeeping, strikers, fitness, you should also have an expert for the brain. "Not to put them on the red sofa, or hold hands, for me it's about helping the players know the brain should assist the body, not work against it. For me everyone in the team should think the right way. Whenever we speak about football, the major part is up here [the brain]. "He's a former player, hands on, not caught too much in the theory. Having worked together at Leipzig I know we can benefit from him. For me it's vital on top level you should have the best person possible on this job."

Having already qualified for the knockouts as group winners, Rangnick said it would "make sense" to rest players and revealed both goalkeeper Dean Henderson and midfielder Van de Beek would start when quizzed about their futures beyond January. Rangnick said: "To start with they will both pay tomorrow in the first XI. Donny came on as a sub [against Crystal Palace], and I know Dean is a very ambitious goalkeeper. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12489059/ralf-rangnick-man-utd-interim-boss-appoints-new-coach-and-psychologist-donny-van-de-beek-to-start-vs-young-boys @skysports.com
