Scott Harrison McManus (born 28 May 1989 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester) is an English footballer who plays for Halifax Town. He plays on the left side of defence or midfield.
Scott McManus was on the books at Manchester United as an apprentice for four or five years but was not handed a contract and left the club at the age of 15. After leaving United, he played for his local side Prestwich Heys notching up over 60 appearances. In the summer of 2008 he was picked up by Curzon Ashton. In a pre-season friendly against Nottingham Forest he impressed the opposition enough to receive a trial and during that time was spotted by Crewe Alexandra scout Steve Holland. When offered contracts by both Forest and Crewe, he elected to sign on at Gresty Road.
He spent most of the 2008–09 season playing for the reserve side, but made his debut under new manager Gudjon Thordarson towards the end of the season. He scored his first goal for Crewe in their 4–3 away defeat at .
McManus was released by Crewe in August 2010 and joined FC United of Manchester as a player in the summer of 2010 and was named in the 21 player squad for the 2010–11 season by the club making his debut in the Northern Premier League Premier Division on 22 August 2010.
On 17 May 2011, it was announced by Halifax Town that they had signed McManus from FC United. McManus said: "I'm sorry I had to leave – the only reasons I did so were for a greater degree of financial security so I can support my daughter, and to help progress my football career at a higher level."
In his first season at FC Halifax Town McManus started 45 games and scored a late winner in the FA Cup at home to Tadcaster Albion to set the Shaymen on the way to the first round where they met Charlton Athletic. After a poor start to the season at centre back, he was moved to a more comfortable left back role and he excelled, winning numerous end of season awards.
