Chris Armas lifts lid on relationship with Man Utd squad after they named him Ted Lasso

Former Manchester United assistant manager Chris Armas has insisted he had a good relationship with the Red Devils squad.

That is despite the American having reportedly been branded Ted Lasso after the bumbling fictional football manager by some in the team. Armas arrived at United in December as interim boss Ralf Rangnick's number two following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

But the duo quickly ran into problems in dealing with their new group of players, some of whom were resistant to their methods. Armas would ultimately depart United with Rangnick at the end of the season after they were only able to secure a sixth-place finish in the top flight.
