Former Leeds United star makes bold Premier League claim – Manchester United fans will disagree

Leeds United returning to the Premier League next season means that old rivalries will be renewed. The Whites will meet the red devils next season in a clash fans will savour.

Derbies and rivalries sell tickets, and Elland Road will no doubt be packed when Ruben Amorim’s side come to town. However, this is not the Manchester United of old. The club have slumped over the past few seasons after a series of poor decisions. They are now an indicator of what not to do as a Premier League club.

Former Leeds United star Stuart Dallas has made a bold claim ahead of next season. According to him, if the Whites get their recruitment right, they will definitely best their rivals Manchester United. Dallas was speaking to Mirror Football:

“…I think Man Utd have had a number of players, obviously like every club, come and go.

“…The gap is big. That’s common knowledge because promoted teams and how they’ve done in the last number of seasons. I think it is continuing to grow.

“Leeds are in a position where they financially can go and strengthen. You can give me £150m and I can go and spend it. What I’m trying to say is the recruitment has to be right.

“I think Leeds have got that in place this season. I think they’ll have learned from the past and they have the potential to really do something within the next number of years in the Premier League. But again, for me, the recruitment has to be key, which I’m sure it will be.”

Can Leeds really finish above their rivals?

Manchester United were so poor last season, that they would have gotten relegated if any of the promoted teams had a bit of quality. They finished 15th, winning just 11 games all season. The team was also poor under new boss Ruben Amorim in 2025.

So Stuart Dallas has a point, if Leeds get some quality, they can definitely steal a win this season. Signing players like Atletico Madrid star Reinildo could make the difference.
