Manuel was a member of the youth academy at famed French club Olympique de Marseille, before playing four years of college soccer at Brown University.
Manuel was then selected in the fourth round of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by New York Red Bulls,[2] but did not sign with the club, instead opting to rejoin Hapoel Tel Aviv to try to restart his professional career aboard.
He was initially offered a contract by Hapoel Tel Aviv, but he couldn't stay due to paperwork problems.
After further trials in Europe with Swedish club AIK,[10] Manuel returned to the United States in 2010, and re-joined the Long Island Rough Riders for the 2010 PDL campaign.
Manuel has recently just signed for Sevilla FC Puerto Rico to partake in the Supercopa Direct TV 2010.
