Manuel 'Manu' Barreiro Bustelo (born 8 July 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for SD Compostela.
Club career
[edit]Born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Barreiro was a Valencia CF youth graduate. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in the Tercera División.[2]
After prolific lower league spells at CD Lalín and Algeciras CF, Barreiro joined Cádiz CF on 31 January 2008.[3] Initially assigned to the B side, he made his first-team debut on 20 April 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Natalio in a 1–0 Segunda División away win against CD Numancia.[4]
Barreiro scored his first professional goal on 18 May 2008, but in a 5–2 loss at RC Celta de Vigo.[5] After the club's relegation to the Segunda División B, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[6]
Released by Cádiz in the summer of 2009, Barreiro subsequently represented Jerez Industrial CF,[7] Zamora CF,[8] CCD Cerceda, Pontevedra CF[9] and Racing de Ferrol.[10] With the latter, he scored a career-best 21 goals in two consecutive seasons, as his team achieved promotion to the third division and missed out another in the play-offs.[11]
On 27 June 2014, Barreiro returned to division two after six years, signing for Deportivo Alavés.[12] He scored 11 goals for the Basques in his debut campaign, including braces against CA Osasuna and CD Lugo,[13] and added a further five in the following as they returned to La Liga after ten years.[14]
After making no league appearances during the first half of the season, Barreiro terminated his contract on 22 December 2016[15] and joined second-tier club Gimnàstic de Tarragona just hours later.[16] He was sent off for two bookable offences on his debut – a 1–1 home draw with CD Tenerife – the latter for not wearing the obligatory shinpads.[17]
Barreiro signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with second-division Lugo on 28 January 2019.[18] In 2020–21, he totalled a squad-best 12 goals for the 18th-placed side, the last outside the relegation zone.[19]
