Leeds United will be relying on the expertise of both Chris Armas and Ewan Sharp this week as they take on Manchester United twice in the space of five days. The pair were part of the Old Trafford coaching staff last season under Ralf Rangnick and therefore they have a comprehensive knowledge about certain players and characteristics within the Red Devils’ camp.
Both Armas and Sharp left Man United in the summer, with the latter making the immediate switch to Leeds, while Armas arrived at Elland Road a couple of weeks ago. As such, they won’t be able to provide much insight into Erik ten Hag’s thinking leading into the double-header, but the information they are in possession of could be valuable as the Whites aim to bring an end to their seven game winless run.
That recent form was enough to bring an end to Jesse Marsch’s tenure on Monday afternoon, meaning Armas will be one of three men in charge in Leeds dugout tonight, alongside Paco Gallardo and Michael Skubala. The trio have taken just one training session and as a result, extensive changes are not expected.
