Anthony Manning

Waived on August 2, 2016.

A prodigiously athletic center back for St. Louis, Anthony Manning sprinted into MLS with his 6-foot-4 frame ready for action. Known for his bruising physicality and surprising amount of distributive ability out of the back, Manning made his mark on T2 in his first year as a pro with more than 1,000 logged minutes. He even scored in a 4-3 win over Newcastle United on July 21, 2015.
