Dele Alli has been told to ‘break ties’ with Tottenham – and Manchester United could possibly benefit!
This is the view of talkSPORT host Adrian Durham, who believes Spurs manager Jose Mourinho has ‘broken Alli’s football heart’ throughout his tenure in charge at White Hart Lane.
It has been a disappointing season for Alli who has found himself cast out the first-team by Mourinho, playing just 66 minutes of Premier League football and featuring in less than half of Tottenham’s games in all competitions.
Mourinho has hardly used Alli this season and there have been rumours of a breakdown in their relationship
A north London exit before the summer transfer deadline was rumoured, with Real Madrid and PSG both claimed to be keen on the England international, but no deal was done and Alli remained with Spurs.
His situation at White Hart Lane has not improved since then, however, and rumours are once again suggesting a possible move away from Tottenham when the transfer window reopens in January.
And Durham has urged Alli to get out as soon as possible to ensure the 24-year-old doesn’t waste his incredible talent.
The Drivetime host even suggested a possible transfer for Alli, touting a move to Old Trafford if former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino replaces the under-fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Manchester United manager!

Now has come the time to break the ties with Tottenham Hotspur and move on for a different challenge, wherever that may be,” began Durham.
If there is a vacancy at Man United and Pochettino gets the job, I can see him taking Dele Alli there and revitalising him.
Dele Alli has had his football heart broken by Jose Mourinho.
What Jose needs to do to take the steps forward to take Tottenham where he wants to go, then there will be collateral damage along the way and Dele Alli is part of that.
Alli started Tottenham’s first match of the season but has not started a Premier League match since then
So Dele Alli now has to sit down and look at himself and say, hang on a minute, I have been, in my time, one of the Premier Leagues better players. For a couple of seasons I was magnificent, and I want to get back to that. So I need to seek a move.
Whether that is abroad or to another Premier League club whatever it is clearly Mourinho doesnt want him, so he wont care where he goes.
And I dont think Mourinho will stand in his way either.
I think theyd even accept something like £30/£25m for him.
