Antonio Manuel Sánchez Gómez, Manu Sánchez (born January 25, 1979 in Fuengirola, Málaga), is a Spanish football midfielder, currently unattached.

Football career

After growing through the ranks of Real Madrid (never making it past the reserve side, however), Manu joined Málaga CF in January 2002, being relatively used during five 1/2 seasons.

Manu's best output came in 2002-03, with 6 goals in 36 appearances (including a brace against Athletic Bilbao on March 9, 2003, for a 3-0 home win), with Málaga finishing 13th. Previously, he had helped the Andalusia outfit reach the UEFA Cup via the 2002 Intertoto Cup success.

In 2007, Sánchez signed with "Segunda División" fellow side Hércules CF, being released at the end of the season, after just 9 out of 42 possible appearances.
