Pedro Manuel Torres (born March 18, 1982 in Huambo), is an Angolan football player, who is better known as Mantorras. He currently plays for Benfica, from Lisbon. He has drawn comparisons to Eusebio, another player from Portuguese Africa (Mozambique) who played for Benfica in the 1960s [1].
Mantorras joined Benfica in 2001 after a great season in Alverca FC. In 2002, Mantorras suffered a serious knee injury, that almost put an end to his career. Fortunately, after two years of hard and painful recovery, he returned to the field to help Benfica win the 2004/05 Superliga.
He was one of the best players in the Angolan National Team that was the first ever African Portuguese-speaking country to qualify for the World Cup, in 2006.
