McManamon made his senior debut in O'Byrne Cup against Wexford.[2] In 2010 during the league he was selected as one of the top young players as well being part of the Under 21 Dublin team that won the All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship.[3]

In the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, McManamon played a significant role in the semi final and final. In the semi final against Donegal, he came as a substitute with 20 minutes left in the match and scored a vital point.[4]

In the final, he also came on with 20 minutes to go and scored a goal to reduce the margin between the teams at the time from 4 points to a single point. Dublin went on to win the match by a single point and the Irish Independent named him as their man of the match.[5][6]
