Club career

Early years

Born in Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro District of Guinea-Bissaun descent, Manafá finished his development at Sporting CP.[1] He made his senior 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 0–1 away loss against Atlético Clube de Portugal.[2]

In the following years, Manafá alternated between the second and third divisions, representing S.C. Beira-Mar,[1] Anadia F.C. and Varzim SC.[3] He scored his first goal as a professional on 4 April 2015 while at the service of the first club, in a 3–0 away victory over C.D. Trofense.[4]

Portimonense

In late May 2016, Manafá joined Portimonense S.C. on a three-year contract.[5] In his first season, he netted three times[6][7][8] in 38 matches to help the Algarve team return to the Primeira Liga after a six-year absence.[9]

Manafá made his debut in the Portuguese top level on 7 August 2017, playing 16 minutes in a 2–1 home defeat of Boavista F.C. and providing the assist for Bruno Tabata's winner.[10] 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 to C.D. Santa Clara also at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão;[11] during the latter campaign, he was reconverted by manager António Folha to a full back.[12]

Porto

On 21 January 2019, Manafá signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with FC Porto.[13] 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,[14] and scored his first goal on 4 May in a 4–0 defeat of C.D. Aves also at the Estádio do Dragão;[15] 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.[16]
