Stuart Dallas admits Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has transformed his game.

Dallas arrived at Leeds from Brentford in 2015 and presumed he was joining a club ready to get promoted. In the end it took all those managers, a change of ownership and five years to do it.

"We had absolutely no chance back then and I can see that now," he told the Daily Mail. "I signed because it was a great club but also because Uwe Rosler was manager.

"I had been with him at Brentford. He lasted about seven games.

"It was just a whirlwind from that point on. There was always so much going on. You didn't know if after one bad result the manager was going to be sacked and a new one walking in.

"I didn't play to my potential under any manager until Marcelo came in. I really mean that.

"He has transformed my game. I had good relationships with the others but it's hard when you don't know how long they are going to be around."
