Speaking on his arrival, Barnet manager Dean Brennan said,
“Manny’s a super athletic lad and ticks a lot of boxes for us in that department with his power and his build. Not just that; he’s got good technical ability and we believe we can help him be a better player. We believe we can help him score more goals and add that to his game.
He bought into our philosophy and our mindset. We think he’s going to be a real asset for us. We think he’s going to be a strong player for the group.”
Welcome to the Bees Emmanuel!
The deal is subject to the usual FA and League clearances.
