In 2012, he received an award as the season's lead scorer and best player, after scoring 31 goals that year with FC Infonet in the Meistriliiga, Estonia's top-level league.[5][6]

In 2014, he scored 30 goals in 31 games while playing for FC Infonet.[7] This placed him as the third top scorer in the Meistriliiga,[8] also as first African scorer,[9][10] and as the twentieth top scorer worldwide for that year.[9][11] As far as scoring average, he ranked fourth worldwide in 2014 with 0.97 goals per game.[9]

On 7 January 2015, Manucho joined Algerian club USM Alger, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club.[2][12]

On 9 December 2019, FCI Levadia Tallinn confirmed that Manucho had joined the club on a contract until the end of 2020.[13]
