We study the two orbital double-exchange model in two dimensions in the presence of antiferromagnetic (AF) superexchange, strong Jahn-Teller coupling, and substitutional disorder. At hole doping x=0.5 we explore the `bicritical' regime where the energy of a ferromagnetic metal and a charge and orbital ordered (CO-OO) CE state are closely balanced, and compare the impact of weak homogeneous disorder to that of a low density of strong scatterers. Even moderate homogeneous disorder suppresses the CE-CO-OO phase and leads to a glass with nanoscale correlations. Dilute strong scatterers of comparable strength, however, convert the CE-CO-OO phase to a phase separated state with ferromagnetic and AF-CO-OO clusters. We provide the first spatial description of these phenomena and compare our results in detail to experiments on the half-doped manganites.
