Club career

Born in Madrid, Manquillo started playing football with hometown's Real Madrid alongside his twin brother Víctor, a forward. However, in mid-2007, the club decided to release the latter, and the former followed suit, with both signing for neighbouring Atlético Madrid 48 hours later.[1] In November 2011 he made his unnofficial debut with first team, playing in a friendly game against Zamalek SC;[2] late into the month, he extended his contract until 2016.[3]

On 8 December 2011 Manquillo made his official debut for the Colchoneros, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Albacete Balompié for the season's Copa del Rey (1–3 on aggregate).[4] He was subsequently an unused substitute in the matches against Real Sociedad and Málaga CF, whilst finishing the campaign in the third division with 13 appearances for the B-side.

On 28 November 2012, again in the domestic cup, Manquillo appeared in his second game with Atlético's main squad, playing 63 minutes in a 3–0 success at Real Jaén.[5] On 6 December he featured in the 0–1 away defeat against FC Viktoria Plzeň for the season's UEFA Europa League.[6]

Manquillo's debut in La Liga came on 9 December 2012, coming on for Filipe Luís late into the second half of a 6–0 home routing of Deportivo de La Coruña.[7] On 3 September of the following year he signed a contract extension with Atlético Madrid, keeping him at the Vicente Calderón Stadium until 2018.[8]
