Club career

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Manuel José unsuccessfully graduated from FC Porto's academy, going on to serve a number of loans before being released in June 2005. He made his Primeira Liga debut with Académica de Coimbra, where he played from January to June 2003.[2]

After a solid season with Porto's neighbours Boavista FC, Manuel José joined Romania's CFR Cluj Portuguese contingent in June 2006, for €300,000.[3] In his first year in Liga I he was a regular and the team player with the most assists, totalling 11; however, with the arrival of Ioan Andone as head coach in summer 2007, he lost his place in the starting XI and failed to regain that position.

On 5 February 2009, Manuel José terminated his contract with Cluj.[4] He returned to Portugal in July, signing with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[5] He scored a career-best eight goals in the 2012–13 campaign – in only 19 starts – being essential as the club finished third and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history.[6]
