After not being considered by Independiente's coach Antonio Mohamed in July 2011 Mancuello was loaned to Club Atlético Belgrano for one year.[1] On 26 October he scored his first and only goal in a 1–0 victory against Tigre.[2] In January 2012 Mancuello suffered an injury in a match of the Copa Argentina which kept him out of the fields for several weeks when he was being a key player of his team.[3]

Flamengo

2016 season

On January 6, 2016 Mancuello was signed by Brazilian club Flamengo for a fee of R$12 million.[4] On the first half of the season Mancuello didn't perform as expected due to some injuries, playing all of his 12 matches as a starter and scoring 3 goals. As the 2016 Série A started he lost his status of starter, but established himself as of the most important substitutes of the team.

On 6 August 2016 Mancuello scored his first Série A goal in a 1-0 win against Atlético Paranaense in Kléber Andrade Stadium, the game-winner goal was scored in a beautiful back heel flick.[5] On 28 August 2016, against Chapecoense, he substituted Éverton on the 62nd minute and scored his second Série A in the injury time, Flamengo won the match 3-1 at Arena Condá.[6] His third Série A goal was, once again, a game-winner, this time against Cruzeiro in a beautiful placed shot in the 87th minute.[7] In his first season at Flamengo, Mancuello made 36 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions.

International career

On March 20, 2015 Mancuello was called up by Argentine coach Gerardo Martino for the friendly matches against El Salvador on March 28 and Ecuador on March 31, 2015.[8] He made his debut against El Salvador at Fedex Field, replacing Ángel Di María in the second half and scoring a debut goal from a free kick at the end of the match.[9][10] In May, he was selected for the preliminary squad for the 2015 Copa América[11] but he wasn't considered for the definitive draft.[12]
