Wilson Migueis Manafá Jancó (born 23 July 1994), known as Manafá, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger or a full-back for Spanish club Granada CF.

After making his Primeira Liga debut for Portimonense at the age of 23 he transferred to Porto for €7 million in 2019, going on to play 130 games and win two league and Taça de Portugal doubles.[2]

Club career

Early years

Born in Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro District of Angolan and Bissau-Guinean descent,[3] Manafá finished his development at Sporting CP.[4] 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.[5]

In the following years, Manafá alternated between the second and third divisions, representing S.C. Beira-Mar,[4] Anadia F.C. and Varzim SC.[6] 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.[7]

Portimonense

In late May 2016, Manafá joined Portimonense S.C. on a three-year contract.[8] In his first season, he netted three times[9][10][11] in 38 matches to help the Algarve team return to the Primeira Liga after a six-year absence.[12]

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.[13] 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.[14] During the latter campaign, he was reconverted by manager António Folha to a full-back.[15]

Porto

On 21 January 2019, Manafá signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with FC Porto;[16] the initial transfer fee was €3 million for 60% of the player's economic rights, with the remainder bought for €4 million in 2020–21.[17] He made his debut nine days later in a 3–0 home win over B-SAD, playing the final ten minutes in place of Éder Militão,[18] and scored his first goal on 4 May in a 4–0 defeat of C.D. Aves also at the Estádio do Dragão.[19] 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.[20]

Manafá started regularly under Sérgio Conceição, but eventually lost his position to João Mário on the right flank and Zaidu Sanusi on the left.[21][22][23] 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.[24]

Still injured, Manafá was one of four Porto players suspended for the 2022 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira and fined €510 for having made insults towards Benfica during title celebrations.[25] After recovering, he started playing again with the reserves in the second tier.[26]

Granada

On 7 August 2023, free agent Manafá signed for Granada CF, newly-promoted to La Liga.[27]
