Biography


Manucho Gonçalves (born March 7, 1983) is a retired Angolan footballer best known for his time as a striker at Manchester United and in La Liga. Manucho began his career with Petro Atlético in Angola, where his goal-scoring ability earned him attention from United. In 2008, he joined Manchester United but struggled to secure a regular spot, making only three appearances. Loan spells with Panathinaikos and Hull City followed, before he transferred to Real Valladolid in Spain, where he found more consistency, later playing for Rayo Vallecano and Bucaspor in Turkey.

Internationally, Manucho was a key player for Angola, representing his country in multiple Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and becoming known for his aerial ability and powerful shot. Manucho was the 1st ever Angola International and 3rd African to play for Manchester United.
