In late 2015, Mané was loaned to Portuguese club S.C. Olhanense.[2] He made his LigaPro debut on 31 January 2016, featuring the first half of the 1–0 away loss against Atlético Clube de Portugal.[3] His first goal came also that season, in a 2–0 away victory over Leixões S.C. on 8 May.[4]

On 11 July 2019, Mané signed a four-year contract with Primeira Liga club Moreirense FC.[6] He made his debut on the competition on 11 August, starting in a 3–1 defeat at S.C. Braga.[7]

Mané spent the vast majority of the 2020–21 season on the sidelines, due to a knee injury.[8] On 14 May 2022 he scored his first goal for his new team, opening a 4–1 home win over F.C. Vizela;[9] in the subsequent promotion and relegation play-offs, they lost 2–1 on aggregate to G.D. Chaves.[10]

In the 2022–23 campaign, Mané scored once in 27 games (31 in all competitions) to help Moreirense win the second division and subsequently promote.[11][12]

Académico Viseu

Mané remained in division two in summer 2023, on a two-year deal at Académico de Viseu FC.[13]
