Not UTD related but a managerial question relevant none the less.
Pep and Enrique, 2 former Barcelona players, and both great managers. If I had to choose who is better:
The PSG manager all day.
He inherited superstars and realised that he had to build his own team and he has done it exceptionally well with PSG.

Enrique has done a brilliant job. He got rid of players who had egos, and replaced them with ones who were not only talented, but grafters.
Both managers inherited teams that had some very good players. Domestically, they were clear challengers, and, more often than not, league winners. European success was evading both clubs.
Enrique's PSG are far more exciting than Man City are.

Both are great managers and coaches.
Enrique can claim he is as good when he has the same amount of trophies.
Both have produced great teams to watch over the years.
Both have spent big money. Both have rebuilt teams. Both play a lovely attacking style.
This PSG team is great to watch imo. City not so much at the moment, I think Pep has gone a little stale tbh.
Personally, I hope Arsenal win the CL. In battles of beauty v beast, id normally side with beauty, but id rather an Arsenal win on this occasion.

Both are fantastic managers, Pep got to be in front cos what he won, but I would have either....
I want PSG to win all day long. Prefer football over the anti football Arsenal any day of the week.
Strange how it's all about attitudes though, cos on paper PSG had a better team before, but some awful attitudes now they changed got rid of the attitudes and bingo...
but some don't notice that and have a rant....

I think their upturn in fortunes after getting rid of the egos was pretty obvious.

Pep has to be considered the better manager. The style of football he developed, the success he has had, and the unbelievable longevity of competing at that level for so many years. He's literally been in a position where not winning a league title is considered a failure for the vast majority of his career. That's an incredible amount of pressure, and the fact that he hasn't had a full nervous breakdown.
There's an argument that Enrique is the best coach in the world right now. But, as an overall career, Pep is unrivalled. I honestly think Pep should have stepped down two seasons ago to take a break. Now, it feels like he won't be able to quit until he wins the league again because he doesn't want to leave a loser.
