Ralf Rangnick downplays report of player unrest over training methods at Man United after 'Ted Lasso' jibe
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has downplayed reports that players are unhappy with his training methods and urged the squad to stick to his gameplan. Rangnick brushed away a report that some players have complained that his training drills are 'old-fashioned' and that he regularly delegates sessions to American assistant manager Chris Armas, who has supposedly been likened by the players to Ted Lasso, the fictional coach from the popular Apple+ comedy. Armas has been head coach of the New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC in the MLS but had never had a coaching job in Europe before being appointed by Rangnick.
