Manuel 'Manu' Barreiro Bustelo (born 8 July 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Gimnàstic de Tarragona as a forward.

Club career

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 Tercera División.

After prolific lower league spells at CD Lalín and Algeciras CF, Barreiro joined Cádiz CF on 31 January 2008.[1] 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 away win against CD Numancia for the Segunda División championship.[2]

Barreiro scored his first professional goal on 18 May 2008, but in a 2–5 loss at Celta de Vigo. After the club's relegation to Segunda División B, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[3]

Released by the Gaditanos in the summer of 2009, Barreiro subsequently represented Jerez Industrial CF,[4] Zamora CF,[5] CCD Cerceda, Pontevedra CF[6] and Racing de Ferrol.[7] With the latter, he scored a career-best 21 goals in two consecutive seasons, as his team achieved promotion to the third level and missed out another in the play-offs.[8]

On 27 June 2014, Barreiro returned to division two after six years, signing for Deportivo Alavés.[9] He scored 11 goals for the Basques during his debut campaign, including braces against CA Osasuna and CD Lugo,[10] and added a further five in the following as they returned to La Liga after ten years.

On 22 December 2016, after making no league appearances during the first half of the season, Barreiro terminated his contract[11] and joined second tier club Gimnàstic de Tarragona just hours later.[12] He was sent off for two bookable offenses on his debut – a 1–1 home draw to CD Tenerife – the latter for not wearing the obligatory shinpads.[13]
