Scout report
Manu García is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Sporting Kansas City, rated 31 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 292nd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.26 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on García.
Judged on this season alone, García graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 27 appearances (0.344 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 35th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 28 García is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 27 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.3 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31, García carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
