Manoel is a veteran centre-back, but his current form suggests he’s struggling to maintain the level required at the top. With a Sofascore rating in the bottom 15% of his positional peers, he’s lacking in key defensive metrics, particularly in aerial duels and overall duels won. Additionally, his injury history raises concerns about reliability, having missed significant time in recent seasons.
Availability: 34 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
