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. In 2015, McManus won the Scottish Youth Cup, captaining the team to a 5–2 win over Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden Park.
On 3 July 2015 McManus and team-mate Michael Duffy were loaned out to Alloa Athletic. 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 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. 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 and returned to Celtic at the end of the 2016-17 season. After he was released by Celtic, McManus signed a six-month contract with Greenock Morton in July 2017.
