PROFILE
Brandon Manzonelli
Born on 23rd December, 1989 Brandon is an American football player who
most recently played for New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.
Brandon’s football talent has been apparent from an early age and he was
signed by Villarreal at just 16 year od age where he made 25 appearances for
the u18’s side, scoring 8 goals and being credited with 10 assists. Brandon
also turned out for the reserves and trained alongside some of the best players
in world football including Diego Forlan and Juan Roman Riquelme.
After trials with Manchester City and Blackburn who both expressed their
interest to sign him, Brandon chose to move to the MLS and play
competitive first team football rather than remain in a top academy set-up.
This decision saw him sign for New England Revolution in 2008 where he
made his MLS debut against the New York Red Bulls, scoring in the first
half.
As well as his club experience, Brandon has also represented the United States
at various youth levels, creating 2 goals on his u20 debut and being a pivotal
figure for the USA team that travelled to the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland
and progressed through the group stages.

R E F E R E N C E S
“Brandon played here at Villarreal for one year where I played him as an outside
attacking midfielder because of his speed and technical skills. He was a good
addition to the team and was instrumental in them winning the league that year.”
“The only reason Brandon did not extend his stay here with Villarreal is that he
could not obtain European citizenship at the time. Overall he is a very good
player and very good person with high potential.”
Regards,
Juan Carlos Garrido Fernandez
Manager
Villarreal C.F.
“Brandon is a talented young professional with great potential.”
