After winning the 2013 Ulster Senior Football Championship with Monaghan,^[4] he was hauled down by Sean Cavanagh in sight of goal in the All-Ireland quarter-final, with Monaghan losing only by two points in the end.^[5] McManus was later named in the 23-man Ireland squad for the 2013 International Rules Series against Australia.^[6] He scored two goals in the second Test against Australia at Croke Park and won the man of the match award, as Ireland earned a record-breaking victory.^[7][8] On 8 November 2013, McManus won an All Star at corner-forward. He added a second All Star in 2015 after winning his second Ulster Championship that year, having scored 1-26. During a club match with Clontibret O'Neills in spring 2014, he suffered a knee injury that kept him out until the Ulster Football Championship quarter-final against Tyrone. He won another county championship medal as Clontibret came back from a five-point deficit to win 1-10 to 1-09 against Scotstown.^[9] McManus enjoyed a good 2015 Ulster Final when scoring six points in an 0-11 to 0-10 win for the Farney Men against Donegal. McManus also scored no fewer than 0-12 in a 1-14 to 0-16 loss to All-Ireland champions Dublin in the National League Division 1 on 27 February 2016. He was the top scorer in that year's National League with 2-43.

Selected for Ireland in the 2014 International Rules Test, McManus won the GAA medal as the Irish player of the series against Australia.^[10] He was a scoring asset for Ireland in the 2015 test match, which Ireland won, before winning a second GAA medal in the 2017 International Rules Series for his performance in a losing Irish side.^[11]
