Leeds United bury petty Man Utd dig in the middle of latest announcement

Leeds United proved their ill-feeling towards Manchester United burns as strongly as ever by refusing to name their Premier League rivals as they announced their latest coaching appointment.

The Whites added to Jesse Marsch's staff on Wednesday by snapping up Chris Armas as their new assistant head coach. The former United States midfielder previously managed New York Red Bulls - where he succeeded Marsch in 2018 - and Toronto, and was teammates with the Leeds boss at Chicago Fire.

However, English football fans will be more likely to remember Armas' name from his brief stint at Old Trafford last season, where he was a member of Ralf Rangnick's staff and the recipient of an unwanted nickname. Rangnick was appointed Manchester United manager on an interim basis after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November 2021.
