Manuel ranks as one of the best talents in this position and he is certain to be considered for the Croatian national team sooner or later. Pamic is highly skilled and is really able to create some pressure down the left side.”[2] With the Austrians he played 6 matches in the first half of the year, and another 4 the second.
