He signed a three-year contract with United earlier this month after moving from Angolan side Petro Athletico.
"After the ACN I will return to Luanda and then head to Athens," Manucho told Angolan television.
"I am looking forward to playing in Greece before hopefully being a success at Old Trafford."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson explained: "We have farmed him out to Panathinaikos for the rest of the season as he will get games there.
"They have a Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro and as Manucho speaks Portuguese, it is comfortable for him. Then we will apply for a work permit in the summer."

another one on loan now. He is doing pretty well in the ACN and i would have thought it would have been enough for him to be able to appeal but it seems that we cba to appeal now and will most probably have loaned him out anyway.
good luck to him
