==Club career==
===Early career===
Manucho began his football career at Flaminguinhos, a small youth football club from Terra Nova, Luanda, where he lived. Under the guidance of his coach and father, Alberto Gonçalves, Manucho plied his trade as a left winger, becoming one of the club's top stars.

Upon turning professional, Manucho signed for [[Sport Luanda e Benfica|Benfica de Luanda]], a mid-table club in the Angolan league. He then moved to Luanda-based side [[Petro Atlético]], where he initially struggled to break into the team due to the presence of striker [[Flávio Amado]]. After Flávio joined Egyptian side [[Al Ahly SC|Al Ahly]], Manucho began to establish himself in the side, scoring 16 goals in 2006 and 15 in 2007.

===Manchester United, loans at Panathinaikos and Hull City===
On 21 December 2007, it was announced that Manucho had agreed to sign for English [[Premier League]] champions [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. He joined the club in January 2008 on a three-year contract. Prior to the announcement, Manucho had been on a three-week trial with the Manchester club, during which he managed to impress United manager [[Alex Ferguson]] enough to earn himself a contract.<ref name="sign"/><ref name="signmu"/><ref name="sky"/>

On 31 January 2008, it was reported that Manucho was due to head out on loan to Greek team [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] for the remainder of the 2007–08 season, due to complications obtaining a work permit, with a view to him gaining valuable first team experience.<ref name="31jan"/><ref name="greece">{{cite news |title=United starlet heads for Greece |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3096008,00.html |work=skysports.com |publisher=British Sky Broadcasting |date=31 January 2008 |access-date=31 January 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Manucho close to loan deal |url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=528547 |publisher=Manchester United |date=1 February 2008 |access-date=1 February 2008 }}</ref> Ferguson announced on 1 February that Manucho had indeed been loaned out to Panathinaikos until the end of the season.

In Angola's next match against Ivory Coast, Manucho couldn't save the team to go to the Quarter Final of African Cup Of Nations as Ivory Coast beat Angola 2–0. Despite Angola's elimination in the group stage, Manucho's three goals meant he finished as the tournament's joint-top scorer, along with [[Houssine Kharja]] of Morocco, [[Christopher Katongo]] and [[Emmanuel Mayuka]] of Zambia, [[Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang]] of Gabon, [[Didier Drogba]] of Ivory Coast and [[Cheick Diabaté (footballer, born 1988)|Cheick Diabaté]] of Mali.
