Former Manchester United coach Chris Armas is set to join Jesse Marsch’s backroom team at Leeds.

The Premier League club lost coach Mark Jackson to MK Dons earlier this season and have been on the look out for a new assistant coach.

Sportsmail understands Armas is joining the Elland Road club to work with fellow American Marsch.

The deal for Armas to join has been agreed and the coach has arrived in England ready to work pending visa approval.

Armas worked at Old Trafford for the second half of last season, working under interim boss Ralf Rangnick following the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Armas has also managed in the MLS, taking charge of New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC.
