Cristian Marian Manea (Romanian pronunciation: [kristiˈan mariˈan ˈmane̯a]; born 9 August 1997) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Liga I club CFR Cluj and the Romania national team.
Manea started out as a senior at Viitorul Constanța in 2014, and moved to Apollon Limassol during that summer. He did not feature in any games for the Cypriots, being loaned out consecutively to Viitorul, Mouscron, CFR Cluj, FCSB, and again CFR Cluj. Manea signed a permanent deal with the latter in 2020, and won seven domestic honours during his stints in Cluj-Napoca.
Internationally, Manea became the youngest player to make his debut for Romania after playing in a 1–0 win over Albania in May 2014.[note 2] In 2019, he represented the under-21 side in the UEFA European Championship.
