"United were linked with Gallagher, but the reported interest never materialised, which opened the door for Tottenham to sign the England international for a fee of £34 million. Gallagher may have pocketed a £200k-a-week salary at Tottenham, but he has not had the greatest of starts to life at his new club."
"Tottenham find themselves in a relegation dog fight with nine games left to play in the Premier League. They have not won in 11 Premier League games, losing the last five, but not all of that is Gallagher's fault. Igor Tudor was recently made temporary manager, and there are already whispers that there could be another change in the dugout before the end of the season unless results improve."
"Now, as we approach the summer transfer window, the midfield department is set to take priority in the same way United made improvements in attack last year. It became more important from the minute Casemiro announced he was leaving Old Trafford ahead of the 2026 World Cup."
Manchester United were linked with Conor Gallagher before Tottenham signed the midfielder for £34 million in January. United chose not to pursue the transfer, preferring to wait until summer to strengthen their squad. The club's board prioritized patience despite needing midfield reinforcement following Casemiro's departure announcement. Gallagher has struggled at Tottenham, earning £200k weekly while the club faces relegation danger with nine games remaining. Tottenham's recent managerial change to Igor Tudor and five consecutive Premier League losses have created an unstable environment. United's decision to pass on Gallagher appears vindicated, as the midfielder's difficult transition demonstrates the risks of January acquisitions for struggling teams.
