Club Career

Born in Wadenswil, Switzerland to Spanish immigrants, Manu started playing with CD Ourense in Segunda Division B. He remained in that level for the following eight seasons, signing in summer 2007 with Galician neighbours CD Lugo.

In the 2011–12 campaign, Manu contributed with 37 matches (all starts) and five goals as the club promoted to Segunda Division 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 Hercules CF, scoring the game's only goal through a penalty kick, and served as team captain for several seasons.

On 4 July 2017, after one full decade with Lugo, free agent Manu joined fellow second level side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa. The following 25 January, he signed for Elche CF in the third division after severing ties with the former.
