Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur may both be in the Europa League final but they have flattered to deceive in the Premier League this season.
Manchester United currently sit a lowly 16th in the Premier League table, while Tottenham are a place below in 17th.
Rasmus Hojlund has only scored 10 goals for Man United this season, of which four have come in the Premier League and six in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min hasn’t been at his best this season – he scored more goals in the Premier League last term than he has done in all competitions this year.
Sam Allardyce has now shared which player he has found the most disappointing this season between Hojlund and Son.

Sam Allardyce says Rasmus Hojlund has been the season’s biggest disappointment
The latest episode of the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast featured a section called Big Sam’s Big Awards, essentially his personal end-of-season award selection.
Not all were positive awards – one of them was about who Allardyce felt was the biggest let-down in the Premier League this term.
On the subject of the Tottenham captain, Allardyce said: “I have every admiration for Son but it looks like it’s getting a bit too tough for him now.”
However, Allardyce said Hojlund was his biggest disappointment of the season, and he explained why.
“I think he’s been, unfortunately for him, the most disappointing,” began Allardyce.
“Because he’s not contributed enough for the expectation of Man United and what Manchester United need.
“They need… not just that goal-scorer, but they need that front man who can hold it up and then get in the box and score, and unfortunately he’s failed to do that.
“And when you take the price with it – you know what I mean?”
Could Son Heung-min and Rasmus Hojlund be on the move this summer?
Son has been a fantastic servant for Tottenham and will definitely go down as a club legend.
However, it can be argued that it is time for Tottenham to plan for life without Son, barring a remarkable turnaround next season.
As things stand, Son is contracted to Spurs until next year, but it remains to be seen whether he will try his luck elsewhere and make a move over the summer.
As for Hojlund, TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Hojlund’s agents are doing work on potential options to leave Man United.
The striker’s stock in Serie A remains very high and it was previously revealed that Napoli had a strong interest in Hojlund.
Publicly, United are backing Hojlund and the striker himself is determined to fight for his place – the Dane would ideally like to stay and fulfil his potential at Old Trafford.
However, Hojlund is also aware of the interest in him, and a fresh start remains under consideration.
