When I start playing again Ghanaians will know they have a good player – Braydon Manu

Former Darmstadt forward Braydon Manu believes he will fight back to the Black Stars once he starts playing active football again.

The 27-year-old played a crucial role in their promotion to the top flight scoring seven goals and providing seven assists in the 2. Bundesliga.

However, despite realising his dream of playing in the Bundesliga, the winger was limited to four games after struggling with persistent injuries.

“I was really sad that the season ended that way because it was the first time we went up with Darmstadt to play in the Bundesliga. I did my part to be there, and the injuries got me, so I didn’t play that much,” Manu said in an interview with 3Sports.

“I just played four games, so far as a footballer, it was the worst part of my career, but as a human being, I grew a lot because I get much more comfortable, much deeper with my faith,” he added.

Manu’s contract with Darmstadt has expired as the club heads back to the second tier of German football. Despite struggling with injuries, he is confident he can get back to his best and return to the national team.

“I’m ready, I’m hoping that when I start playing again and when I prove myself, they know they have a good Ghanaian player outside of Ghana,” he asserted.

Braydon Manu received his debut call-up for the Black Stars in 2021 for the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia and never made it into the squad.
