Club career
Born in Wädenswil, Switzerland to Spanish immigrants, Manu started playing with CD Ourense in the Segunda División B. He remained in that level the following eight seasons, signing in summer 2007 with Galician neighbours CD Lugo.
In the 2011–12 campaign, Manu contributed 37 matches (all starts) and five goals as the club promoted to Segunda División for the second time in its history, the first in 20 years. He made his debut in the competition on 18 August 2012 in a 1–0 home win against Hércules CF, scoring the game's only goal through a penalty kick,[1] and served as team captain for several seasons.[2]
On 4 July 2017, after one full decade with Lugo, free agent Manu joined fellow second-tier side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[3] The following 25 January, he signed for Elche CF of the third division after severing ties with the former.[4][5]
