On 2 September 2019, FCSB have agreed a deal to sign Manea on loan with an option to buy the right back.

His first senior goal was recorded four years later on 5 June 2018, as he opened the scoring in a 2–0 friendly win over Finland at the Ilie Oană Stadium in Ploiești.

He spent the 2014–15 campaign on loan at former club Viitorul, and scored his first senior goal on 13 April 2015 in a 2–1 away defeat of Petrolul Ploiești.

On 28 August 2015, he moved to Belgian team Royal Excel Mouscron on a season-long loan, which was extended for an additional year. Manea amassed 18 appearances in all competitions before returning to Romania on 27 June 2017, joining CFR Cluj also on loan. He was an undisputed starter in his two years at the club, winning back-to-back national championships.

Born in Agigea, Constanța County, Manea is a youth exponent of Viitorul Constanța, for which he made his Liga I debut on 21 April 2014 in a 0–3 home loss to FC Steaua București.

In 2014, an investment fund acquired player's rights and Manea arrived in Cyprus at Apollon Limassol. The deal was reported to be €2.5 million. Previously, Romanian media suggested that he had been sold to Chelsea for around £2.3 million, but the rumours proved to be false.

In May 2014, aged 16, he was called up to the senior team by coach Victor Pițurcă despite having only made five club appearances at the time. Manea made his debut as a starter against Albania on the 31st and subsequently became the youngest footballer to play for Romania, breaking the previous record set by Grațian Sepi in 1928.

Cristian Marian Manea (Romanian pronunciation: [kristiˈan mariˈan ˈmane̯a] ; born 9 August 1997) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays mainly as a right back for CFR Cluj, on loan from Apollon Limassol and the Romania national team.
