当年皇马花大价钱转会了阿内尔卡，免费转会了他，阿内尔卡表现低迷而麦克马纳曼稳坐右前卫，并且当年就捧回了欧洲冠军杯。每当桑斯被人指责乱花钱的时候就拿他来挡驾：“这里可一分钱都没花啊！”
第二年，桑斯在皇马大选中失利，那个疯子主席上台，把费戈带到了皇马，不到半个赛季麦克又成为了主力左前卫，还客串过后腰。不过在那种“巨星政策”下注定他在皇马呆不长了，比如那个疯子主席轰走莫雷恩斯特买入罗纳尔多的原因不过是“不能忍受皇马的9号球衣在G14中销量最低”，所以当年皇马被莫雷恩特斯淘汰出冠军杯我觉得特别解气。麦克具体什么时候离开的不记得了。足球界对他有一个评论，说他技术一般，速度也不快，但是他在场上对手就觉得别扭。
McManaman is currently retired from his playing career after being released by his final contracted playing club since 2003, Manchester City F.C., on 20 May, 2005. McManaman has personally reported that he has been working on Goal! 2, the sequel to Goal!, a movie which stars Alessandro Nivola becoming a fictional superstar at Newcastle United. McManaman wrote the following in the Daily Telegraph in February 2006: "The second part follows his move to Real Madrid, filmed with my former team-mates at the Bernabeu. I'm helping to choreograph the training-ground action shots, check for authenticity in the dressing-room, and so on. The director (Danny Cannon) gave me a cameo role. I was told to do lots of manic high-fives..."
McManaman has since also been active as a media commentator and pundit, and has provided analyses for ITV media for the 2005 Champions League Final, and for ESPN Star in Asia in 2006, where McManaman's experience both as a former Premiership star as well as in Spain have enabled him to analyse the game in Europe in depth. In an interview with ESPN in 2004 he also expressed interest in being a club manager and claimed to be obtaining his coaching badges.
突然发现阿姨又是一品了，飞起一脚
那些零星的记忆都是原来在国内对足球狂热的时候留下的。毕业，工作，出国，结婚...足球在我心中的地位是一步步后退，加上我家那位对足球一点兴趣都没有，这几年我就没看过几场足球比赛，除了04年的欧洲杯和这次世界杯。
我正在酝酿我的大学足球生涯的包子呢，
，想着怎么图文并茂才好，原来足球队的照片都还在，还有我的球鞋和护腿板，慢慢来，我得写写这个。球星就免了，那个麦克马拉曼还是阿姨提起来我才想起的。
他怎么就那么不走运呢？老实说，嗯，我个人觉得他技术比贝克汉姆要好，个人看法哈。
