Manu is t-boned, however he doesn't have possession and so it's unlikely to get called (unless the ref is certain that the move wasn't incidental).
The onus is on Piks to avoid Manu by keeping his head up, but at the same time it's a tiny hit at slow speed and Manu should probably just hop away from it/stay up.
If Manu was on the ball or if Piks was travelling at a higher speed, then foul everytime (in Manu's favour).
The old (London) approach would be to say that Manu is impeding Piks and that the advantage lies with Piks (in possession), but this approach has been shot down by all non-Londoners.
If you're the base of the T then you're at fault, no exceptions (even though we all know there are exceptions, but that's a debate for LOBP).
