Buenos Aires has classical grandeur, world famous steakhouses, the passion of the tango and plenty of sunshine. Manchester has old cotton mills, the hotpot, Stone Roses and a persistent drizzle.
Still, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in his satisfying Mancunian-Norwegian hybrid accent, has been doing his best to persuade Edinson Cavani to stick around a bit longer at Manchester United.
Cavani's heart may well be set on Boca Juniors but Solskjaer has been playing the local tour guide to keep hold of the phenomenal 34-year-old centre forward for another year.
'This year has been very difficult but I've promised him Old Trafford and Manchester is a different place without fans in the stadium,' Solskjaer said after Cavani's two goals and three assists put United a giant leap closer to the Europa League final.
