Clean sheets

13.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 13.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 25.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (13.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 22, McManus sits on 2.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is McManus's projected Rating — 25.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
