Club career

Mané was born in Bissau. He finished his youth career in Italy, with U.C. Sampdoria.[2]

In late 2015, Mané was loaned to Portuguese club S.C. Olhanense.[2] He made his LigaPro debut on 31 January 2016, featuring the first half of the 0–1 away loss against Atlético Clube de Portugal.[3] His first goal came also that season, in a 2–0 away victory over Leixões S.C. on 8 May.[4]

Mané continued in the Portuguese second division the following years, with Olhanense and C.D. Cova da Piedade.[5] On 11 July 2019, he signed a four-year contract with Moreirense F.C. of the Primeira Liga.[6] He played his first match in the competition on 11 August, starting the 1–3 defeat at S.C. Braga.[7]

International career

Mané made his first debut for the Guinea-Bissau national team on 25 March 2017, in a 3–1 friendly loss to South Africa where he came on as an injury-time substitute.[8][9] He was part of the squad that participated in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.[10]

gollark: I vaguely remember playing on a GregTech pack ages ago. I think I got to something like the low-voltage tier before accidentally exploding my base due to a voltage mismatch of some sort and quitting.
gollark: And it's time-consuming.
gollark: Even with AE2 it's still annoying because you run out of patterns constantly.
gollark: OpenComputers does the same thing. For a CPU you need a control unit and ALU and stuff, which need microchips, which need transistors, which need paper for some reason.
gollark: Often the components then have weird components you need to craft, and while the actual material cost isn't high you spend ages fiddling with machines and crafting tables.
