Mourinho:

P 144 W 84 D 32 L 28

1.97 PPG, 3:1 Win-Loss ratio

EFL Cup 2016/17, Europa League 2016/17

Solskjaer:

P 151 W 84 D 34 L 33

1.89 PPG, 2.5:1 Win-Loss ratio

No trophies

Mourinho was significantly better, have a look at the difference in win loss ratio, it's huge. Mourinho's side was much harder to defeat. It also had a better win % too.

And not to mention he's got two trophies to Solskjaer's 0. Mourinho is still by far the best manager Manchester United have had since 1980 not named Sir Alex Ferguson
Disagree completely.

If winning EL/League Cup is your end goal then Mourinho's tenure was better. That was his ceiling and only way to go for him from there was down.

And let's be honest main reason dor his statistical advantages is route one football to Ibra/Lukaku and David de Gea having the best season of his career.

De Gea used to be in best keeper conversation with Neuer :mjcry:

Last time they let Haiti play Copa América they lost 7–1 against Brazil and 4–0 against Ecuador.

They could run qualifiers so only the top 16 teams play the tournament. So you’d likely get the 10 CONMBOL nations plus 6 of the better CONCACAF nations (MX, US, Costa Rica, Canada, Haiti and someone else)

Man they need to do a combined Americas cup and call it a day.

Iirc they were kinda talking about it a few years ago (might even be as far back as a decade ago tbf). Especially when they use to send the invites out. But once the US sent their B/C team because they saving the A's for the Gold Cup (I think it might of been the year of the Gio Dos Santos worldie vs US in the final) the CONMBOL weren't best pleased and felt disrespected. And I've never really heard anything about combining it ever since.
