Born in 1997, Manaj has good physicality and running. He grew up in the youth sector of Piacenza and continued his career in Cremona with the yellow-red shirt.

The next three seasons were spent by Manaj on loan between Pescara, Pisa, and Granada and he remained on the Iberian peninsula in the following season, first with Albacete (30 appearances and 7 goals), then, from January 2020, with Barcelona, where was initially included in Barcelona B squad and then promoted to the first team under the guidance of Quique Setien.
In the national team, after the youth selections, he made his debut in November 2015 against Georgia, scoring 24 appearances and 5 goals with the national team.
