I'm hoping that something else is C.Ronaldo.
Unless you think Ole is better or on a par with Tuchel, Klopp and Guardiola, and just has never demonstrated it ever?

Finished above Klopp last season and has Guardiola's number in the derby games. That's something recent and relevant to the discussion. There is no point comparing him on CV because of course he doesn't compare in past accomplishments.
He didn't compare with Mourinho in December 2018 either but that's not why we sacked Mourinho and brought Ole back to the club. We sacked Mourinho because he was not the right fit for this club. In his approach with tactics, transfers and mentality it was a bad fit that was spiralling downwards fast. Ole has shown he is the right fit. He knows the expectations and what the make up of a United team should be like having been a part of one for a decade. He's demonstrated that with his tactics and transfers. He has made mistakes that perhaps those other managers wouldn't in certain games that decided silverware. But the work he has done has put us in a position where we have been close and this summer has been a big success in helping him take the final step.
The fact of the matter is Klopp at this point in his reign at Liverpool had not won a trophy and struggled to get over the line on the biggest occasions. It took him time and since there is no disagreement that as a manager he is above Ole in CV and reputation. That he had tasted success before as a manager, had more 'know-how' and experience of big occasions then if you want to compare then Ole is doing an excellent job.
