Ousman Manneh (born March 10, 1997 in Jinack Kajata ) is a Gambian football player who is under contract with Werder Bremen . In the 2016/17 season he played a few games in the Bundesliga team after several strikers were injured there.

Life

Youth and flight to Germany

Ousman Manneh was born in 1997 in the small village of Jinack Kajata in the Lower Niumi district in the North Bank region of Northern Gambia . From 2004 Manneh played football in his home country at the Rush Soccer Academy in Bakau . There he was trained by the former national player Abdoulie Bojang .

At the age of 17, Manneh fled the dictatorship in Gambia to Bremen , where he was accommodated in a refugee home in Lesum . The striker was convincing during a training session with Blumenthaler SV and then joined the club. From summer 2014 he was regularly used for Blumenthaler SV in the A youth regional league. There he performed well, regularly scoring goals and drawing the attention of several clubs to himself. Among them was the Bundesliga club Werder Bremen .

Change to Werder Bremen

From the beginning of 2015 Manneh trained regularly at Werder Bremen. Officially, however, due to the FIFA statutes , the change was only possible after his 18th birthday. In March 2015, he finally signed a contract with Werder Bremen.

On March 13, he made his debut for Bremen's second team in the regional league game against TSV Havelse . In total, he played three regional league games by the summer, in which he was substituted on and remained without a goal. He was out for eight weeks due to a knee injury. Manneh also played a game with the A-Juniors (U19s) in the A-Juniors Bundesliga in March 2015 . In the summer of 2015 he rose to the 3rd division with Werder Bremen II . He scored his first competitive goal for Werder Bremen on the first matchday of the 2015/16 season on July 25, 2015 in a 2-1 away win against FC Hansa Rostock . Three days later he was in a test match against the national division SV Wilhelmshaven for the first time in the squad of the professional team, as head coach Viktor Skripnik wanted to spare his regular players. Manneh came on as a substitute in the 60th minute and scored four goals in 15 minutes. In the 2015/16 season he was an integral part of the 2nd team, even if he was often only used as a substitute.

At the beginning of the 2016/17 season, he was initially used in the 3rd division. This changed with the dismissal of Skripnik, after which Alexander Nouri was first appointed interim and later head coach of the Bundesliga team. In Nouri's first game on September 21, 2016 against 1. FSV Mainz 05 , Manneh was in the starting line-up and made his competitive debut for the professionals. He also benefited from numerous failures of the established strikers. Manneh was also in the starting line-up in the following games. On October 15, 2016, he scored his only Bundesliga goal in a 2-1 home win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen . He is the first Gambier to score in the top German league. Manneh made 6 Bundesliga appearances (all from the start). In the third division, the striker made 20 appearances in the 2016/17 season (18 times from the start), in which he scored 4 goals.

In the 2017/18 season Manneh was again exclusively in the squad of the second team after a loan to a second division club had not come about. By March 2018 he had played 17 third division games (15 times from the start) in which he scored 5 goals and then fell out with an injury. With the second team he was relegated to the Regionalliga Nord . Due to the injury, he was unable to play a game in the 2018/19 season . The injury continued into the 2019/20 season , in which Manneh played a game in December 2019. His contract, which expired at the end of the season, was not extended.
