Club career

Early years / UTA Arad

While a junior at Atletico Arad in 2010, Man traveled to English club Manchester City for a trial and played a match for their youth team against Nottingham Forest.[1] However, he returned to his native country and later joined UTA Arad.

Man was promoted from the UTA academy in the summer of 2015,[2] aged 17, and made his senior debut on 29 August in a 1–2 loss to Gaz Metan Mediaș for the Liga II championship.[3] On 25 October, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 away win over Bihor Oradea.[4]

Steaua București

On 6 September 2016, FC Steaua București transferred Man for an undisclosed fee, with the player penning a one-year deal with the option of another five years which would be activated at the end of the season.[5][6][7] His release clause was set at 50 million.[8]

Man made his debut for the Roș-albaștrii on 2 October 2016 against CS Universitatea Craiova, coming on as a substitute for injured Florin Tănase in the first half of the game; he himself was replaced in the 66th minute by Ovidiu Popescu, as his team eventually won 2–1.[9] Later that month he netted his first Steaua — and Liga I — goal, in a 2–0 victory over CSM Politehnica Iași.[10]

On 16 July 2017, Man scored an injury-time winner against FC Voluntari in the campaign's opener.[11] He recorded his first European appearance in the UEFA Champions League's third qualifying round 4–1 away win against Viktoria Plzeň, on 2 August.[12]

Amid reports of a €5 million transfer offer from Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad,[13][14] on 25 October he contributed with two goals and two assists in the 6–1 thrashing of Sănătatea Cluj for the Cupa României.[15]

On 17 December 2017, Man scored the opener in a 2–0 success over defending champions Viitorul Constanța.[16]
