He was, incidentally, talked up by ex Rangers midfielder Claudio Reyna, now Austin FC’s sporting director, who said:
“Manny is a player with great potential who is motivated to make an impact, and we are pleased to welcome him to the Austin FC family.”
Perez himself said:
“I feel blessed and honoured to be part of Austin FC.
“I look forward to giving my best on the pitch for our fans, my teammates and coaching staff.”
All we can say is, Manny.....Alhamdulillah!
