New United signing Manucho scored another superb goal for Angola on Monday evening, but it wasn't enough to prevent his side from exiting the African Cup of Nations.
Reigning champions Egypt saw off the challenge of the 'Black Antelopes' at the quarter-final stage, edging a keenly-contested match 2-1.
Abd Rabou opened the scoring for Egypt, but Manucho - already with three goals in the tournament - levelled with a surging run and scorching 25-yard drive just before the half-hour mark.
Although Angola began to dominate the match, the favourites regained the lead through Amir Zaki before half-time.
Manucho twice came close to levelling the match again, but in the end Egypt held on to book a semi-final clash with Ivory Coast.
Now that Angola are out of the tournament, Manucho will join up with Greek side Panathinaikos, where he will spend the rest of the season on loan.
