Career

McManus joined Celtic's academy in 2005. McManus played for the team in the 2013–14 UEFA Youth League and scored a superb chip from all of 40-yards versus A.C. Milan on 26 November 2013 but the club were still eliminated from the competition.[1] In 2015, McManus won the Scottish Youth Cup, captaining the team to a 5–2 win over Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden Park.[2]

On 3 July 2015 McManus and teammate Michael Duffy were loaned out to Alloa Athletic.[3] McManus made his senior debut twenty two days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win at Brora Rangers in the first round of the Scottish Challenge Cup [4] and on 8 August 2015 McManus made his league debut in a 3–1 defeat away to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park in Dumfries.[5] McManus scored one goal in a 2-2 draw versus the Doonhamers, as the Wasps were relegated to Scottish League One.

On 24 March 2017 McManus signed on an emergency loan deal at Queen of the South [6] and returned to Celtic at the end of the 2016-17 season.[7] After he was released by Celtic, McManus signed a six-month contract with Greenock Morton in July 2017.[8]
