Oct 19, 2018 at 3:48 comment added Andy Putman For compact manifolds isn’t this just a simple Lebesgue number argument? Fix a metric on the manifold and let e be the Lebesgue number of the cover. Barecentrically subdividing a triangulation enough, we can assume that each simplex has diameter at most e/3. This implies that for all simplices, the e-ball aound a point in the simplex contains it and all simplices touching it. But by the definition of the Lebesgue number the e-ball is contained in some set in the cover.
