Stuart Dallas has said that Manchester United<\/a> have been “really, really poor” this season, as the Red Devils lick their wounds from a devastating 2024\/25 campaign. New boss Ruben Amorim<\/a> was unable to turn the tide at Old Trafford after taking over from Erik ten Hag<\/a> in November, guiding the club to a record-low 15th-place finish in the Premier League<\/a> standings.<\/p>\n

While the Red Devils looked to save an otherwise catastrophic campaign via better performances in Europe, a 1-0 loss to a similarly struggling Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur in last month’s Europa League<\/a> final only served as further embarrassment for the once-titans of English football.<\/p>\n

And now Dallas, who made a name for himself with Leeds United<\/a> between 2015 and 2024, has given his synopsis as to what is going on at Old Trafford at present. Speaking exclusively to Mirror<\/a> Football<\/a> at the Leeds American Golf<\/a> for the #RifeDontMiss putting challenge, he said: “It’s mad as well to think that, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

“The two clubs together are so far down the league. Spurs have obviously been decimated with injuries. It’s been really, really difficult for them.<\/p>\n

“Their style of play, on their day when it clicks, they’re a really, really good team. You can see what their DNA is, but Man Utd, on the other hand, I’m still yet to be convinced of what their actual DNA is. I don’t see any change from a couple of things, but in general it’s been really, really poor for them.”<\/p>\n

Dallas also pondered whether a Europa League title was enough to argue that Spurs have had a successful season, given that the Lilywhites finished two places lower than United in the Premier League standings. He added: “It’s mad to think that they were both European finalists as well and Spurs have obviously come out on top.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, is it a successful season for Tottenham? They’ve won the European Cup and they’ve got Champions League<\/a> football. It’s bragging rights over Arsenal.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Arsenal<\/a> have obviously had a fantastic season. They’ve come second, but they haven’t won a Cup and they’re in the Champions League. Spurs have won a Cup and are in the Champions League.”<\/p>\n

Spurs are currently on the hunt for a new manager in the wake of parting ways with Ange Postecoglou<\/a> earlier this month, with Brentford<\/a> boss Thomas Frank<\/a> looking increasingly likely to take tenure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for 2025\/26. Manchester United<\/a>, meanwhile, are currently undergoing major revamps to their current squad with hopes that a summer transfer window and a full pre-season campaign can be a game-changer for Amorim.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have already struck a \u00a362.5million deal for Wolves<\/a> forward Matheus Cunha<\/a> in the first of two windows, as they continue to look to sign Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo. United reportedly saw their initial \u00a355m bid for Mebeumo rejected, but reports suggest that the club are still keen on landing the talent this summer.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the club are also currently linked with the likes of Sporting CP<\/a> star Viktor Gyokeres<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a> shot stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen<\/a>. On the flip side, the club recently announced that Christian Eriksen<\/a>, Jonny Evans<\/a> and Victor Lindelof<\/a> are among the stars on their way out the doors of Old Trafford as their contracts expire.<\/p>\n
