The 21-year-old defender of Ghanaian heritage has returned to his parent club following his season-long loan spell with the German third-tier outfit in the just-concluded campaign
German-born Ghanaian centre-back King Manu is teaming up with his 2. Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf after spending the 2024-25 football season on loan at FC Hansa Rostock.
The ex-Borussia Mönchengladbach youth product was released together with his team-mates Sima Suso by the Rostock-based club following the expiration of their loan deals at the end of the just-ended campaign.
ln bidding a farewell to the duo, those in charge of the Ostseestadion have said via their club's official website: ''Also no longer part of the squad will be the two loan players King Manu and Sima Suso, who will return to their parent clubs after the end of their engagements on June 30, 2025.''
''King Manu arrived on loan from second-division club Fortuna Düsseldorf in the summer of 2024. The 21-year-old defender made 18 competitive appearances for the Kogge this season.''
''Midfielder Sima Suso was also loaned from second division club Fortuna Düsseldorf in January 2025. The 19-year-old made a total of 13 appearances for the first team and one further appearance for the FCH U23 team in the Oberliga Nord.''
''FC Hansa Rostock would like to thank all players for their efforts in the Kogge jersey and wishes them much success and good health in their future endeavors.''
Manu featured in 18 games for Hansa Rostock across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign.
Given his Ghanaian heritage, the Cologne-born defender remains eligible to represent Ghana on the international stage.
