Club career[]

Early years[]

Born in Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro District of Angolan and Bissau-Guinean descent,[2] Manafá finished his development at Sporting CP.[3] He made his professional debut with their reserves in the Segunda Liga, his first appearance in the competition being on 11 August 2013 when he came on as a 43rd-minute substitute in a 1–0 away loss against Atlético Clube de Portugal.[4]

In the following years, Manafá alternated between the second and third divisions, representing S.C. Beira-Mar,[3] Anadia F.C. and Varzim SC.[5] He scored his first goal in the former competition on 4 April 2015 while at the service of the first club, in a 3–0 away victory over C.D. Trofense.[6]

Portimonense[]

In late May 2016, Manafá joined Portimonense S.C. on a three-year contract.[7] In his first season, he netted three times[8][9][10] in 38 matches to help the Algarve team return to the Primeira Liga after a six-year absence.[11]

Manafá made his debut in the Portuguese top tier on 7 August 2017, playing 16 minutes in a 2–1 home win against Boavista F.C. and providing the assist for Bruno Tabata's winner.[12] He scored his first league goal on 25 August of the following year, also putting one past his own net in a 2–2 draw with C.D. Santa Clara also at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão.[13] During the latter campaign, he was reconverted by manager António Folha to a full back.[14]

Porto[]

On 21 January 2019, Manafá signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with FC Porto.[15] He made his debut nine days later in a 3–0 home win over Belenenses SAD, playing the final ten minutes in place of Éder Militão,[16] and scored his first goal on 4 May in a 4–0 defeat of C.D. Aves also at the Estádio do Dragão.[17] His team lost two finals on penalties to Sporting that season: the Taça da Liga in which he was an unused substitute, and the Taça de Portugal in which he came off the bench in the 77th minute.[18]

Manafá started regularly under Sérgio Conceição, but eventually lost his position to João Mário on the right flank and Zaidu Sanusi on the left.[19][20][21] On 30 December 2021, shortly after having replaced the former in O Clássico against S.L. Benfica, he suffered a serious injury to his right-knee patellar tendon, subsequently undergoing surgery and missing the rest of the season.[22]
