BTO someone in the Manjaro-Forum wrote that its not good to just erase the master boot record. there always should remain a partition table + bootloader to not damage the whole disk
That is in the case that the user don't want to delete the mbr partition for "reuse" in later installations.
I recommend, if doing a clean install of solus, to not conserve any partitions and letting the installer to do what it needs to do, or for the advanced user, make manual partitioning.
Just take into account Manjaro is not Solus, Solus is independent and implements some things different compared to other distros; one example is that solus uses clr-boot-manager
to manage boot in uefi or bios environments and not directly in to grub
