On long-term talent our Rating reads 50. At 25 Manu is in his prime years, and a market index of 52.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Rated 49.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~53), then tapers with age. At 25, Manu sits on 52.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Manu's projected Rating — 49.5 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.
