Career
McManus began his professional career in 1990 and made it into the top 16 of the world rankings in just two years , where he stayed until 2005.
In 1992 and 1993 McManus reached the semifinals of the World Snooker Championship . He won the Dubai Classic and the Masters in 1994 . In 1996 he won the Thailand Masters .
