António Manuel Alves Bernardes (born 7 December 1929), is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a half-back.

Career

Manuel arrived at Benfica in 1948, but only made his debut on 2 January 1949, when Ted Smith started him against Belenenses.[1] It was his only appearance all season.[2] He did not compete for the first team in 1949–50, but played six league matches in 1950–51.[3][4] The following year, his playing time was once again cut short, as he only played one game, an away win to Boavista on 30 March 1952.[5][6] However, his next two seasons, were more productive, as Manuel played 9 league games in each.[7][8]

He left the club in 1954 without any silverware, since he never played in any of the club conquests during his time there.[1] He continued his career at Torreense, helping them get promoted from the Portuguese Second Division in 1954–55.
