Depends on how you define manual testing.

If you define manual testing as a big stack of test cases that you execute any time you release a feature, I would argue that should be automated and executed manually.

If you define manual testing as someone critically thinking about the system, it's users, risk, and exploration I would argue manual testing is superior. Both are needed for a well rounded test strategy.
