Manuel "Manu" Justo Román (born 6 February 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa. Mainly a forward, he can also play as a right winger.
Born in Vigo, Pontevedra, Galicia, Justo was a CD Areosa youth graduate. In July 2015, after finishing his formation, he joined Tercera División side Rápido de Bouzas on trial,[1] and signed a contract with the club in the following month.

On 9 July 2019, Justo signed a three-year contract with Segunda División side Elche CF,[4] but was loaned to UCAM Murcia CF in the third division on 2 August.[5] The following 31 January, his loan was terminated, and he moved to fellow league team Celta de Vigo B also in a temporary deal.[6]
On 16 September 2020, Justo's loan with Celta B was extended for the entire 2020–21 season.[7] On 12 August 2021, he agreed to a one-year loan deal with Racing de Santander,[8] and helped in their promotion from the Primera División RFEF as overall champions with five goals.
On 29 June 2022, Justo signed a permanent two-year deal with Racing de Ferrol also in the third division.[9] He was the club's top goalscorer during his first season with 12 goals, as they returned to the second level after 15 years.[10]
Justo made his professional debut at the age of 27 on 12 August 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sabin Merino in a 1–0 away win over former side Elche.[11] He scored his first professional goal on 26 May of the following year, netting a last-minute equalizer through a penalty kick in a 2–2 home draw against CD Leganés.
