An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Manning.
Judged on this season alone, Manning graded 35 — a strong campaign that ranks top 25% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 10 clean sheets and 3.253 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 50th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 30 Manning is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 29.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 8 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45.6, Manning carries the 50th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~58), then tapers with age. At 30, Manning sits on 29.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Manning's projected Rating — 45.6 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.
