Manuel remained in division three in the following years, representing CD Guijuelo,[6] La Hoya Lorca CF[7] and SD Huesca.[8] He appeared in 38 matches and scored two goals during the season with the latter club, as it returned to Segunda División after a two-year absence.
Manuel made his professional debut on 22 August 2015 at the age of 27, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–3 home loss against Deportivo Alavés.[9] On 10 January of the following year, after terminating his contract, he joined CA Osasuna also in the second level.[10]
