I think he genuinely thought he was joining a 'project' to get United back in contention for top 2-3 with a chance of being title contenders around 2024/25. He looked pretty decent for much of his first 4-5 months, but started picking up cards/bans and negative attention that he wasn't receiving at RM. I think he then thought sod this, the reffing/VAR is shit, the team is shit, the manager is shit, the standards are shit, the facilities are shit, and we're going nowhere... but I'm going to stick around and pick up my wedge.
Had we actually improved, instead of falling off a cliff after last year's Carabao Cup win, then I reckon we'd have seen a better Case.
I also think Varane felt the same but has obv had more injury niggles.
