Man made aliyah with his family in 1998 under the Law of Return. His parents had a difficult time adapting to live in Israel, so they returned to Argentina. Bryan and his sister Michelle returned to Israel though.[1]
After going through the ranks of Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth academy, Man did not get a lot of playing time under Nir Klinger. Man himself attributes this to Klinger's preference of foreign strikers and not domestic strikers from the youth ranks.[1]
Man made his debut for a national side when he appeared for the Israel national under-16 football team on December 29, 1999 when they played their Swiss counterparts in a locally organized tournament. He ended up playing two more games in the following two days against the Turkish and Austrian sides.
Man has five tattoos, including a tattoo of the number 7 (his preferred shirt number) and of the crest of his favorite football club, Boca Juniors.[1]
