Sharp, who only joined Lokomotiv last month, has also worked with Armas at New York and Toronto FC.

The Scotsman’s arrival is the latest in a number of changes to United’s coaching set-up since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked last month.

Both of Solskjaer’s first-team coaches, Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna, have since left the club.

Carrick resigned after three games as caretaker boss and McKenna has taken over as manager at Ipswich Town. 

Meanwhile, United are continuing to stagger training sessions at Carrington after re-opening first-team operations on Tuesday.

The training ground was shut down twice last week due to a Covid-19 outbreak that led to the games against Brentford and Brighton being postponed.
