I mean, he always performed in the CL though.

Not disagreeing with that. It is just that in a club like United with its current situation and the level of competition every other game is a big game - Slip up and goodbye to CL qualification as actually ended up being the case. That and the fact that there were no quality backups like Ceballos always meant that the move was high risk. Case should have picked a move like Inter, would have been perfect

I think at Madrid that was sort of papered over because there always is so much pressure,

I could not disagree more. There is massive pressure when the stakes are high yes - But there is also a reason why Real has never won a treble or isn’t as consistent in the league, priority number one is the CL.

e is the perfect guy.

No. His style of play requires lots of time with the players.

Saudi is a football loving countrx, agree about the rest though
