Club career
editIn February 2023, following the conclusion of the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, Manyoma was linked with a move to Categoría Primera A side Independiente Santa Fe. Manyoma had already reportedly signed for Independiente Santa Fe, with the club officially announcing him as their player for the 2023 season in December 2022.[2][3] Given his high potential, the deal included a clause which would allow him to leave if an offer from an overseas club came in.[4]
However, his coaches at Cortuluá decided that he would get more minutes in the Colombian second division, in the hopes that he would then be called up for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and cancelled the deal with Independiente Santa Fe.[5]
On August 12, 2023, an agreement was announced by Argentine Primera División side Estudiantes de La Plata to sign Manyoma. A post published on Estudiantes' social media accounts the same day unveiled Manyoma was signed to a 4 year contract through 2027.[6]
International career
editHaving represented Colombia at the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, Manyoma was again called up to the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He gave an interview before Colombia's opening game against Israel, stating that it was "very important start with a win; [as] it gives the team a lot of confidence for the following games".[7]
