The problem of Manamune/Muramana is that it unefficient for most people:

-Mages don't need the AD

-Ad carries can't itemize for other mana items, thus having few synergies

-Bruisers need to build a bit tanky and thus can't really spend a slot for just this item (0 resistances, no lifesteal, no attack speed, no penetration, only mana and damage).

-Supports have no use for it at all as most don't auto attack or use single spells frequently, they already have support items boosting mana regeneration that also bring more utility.

-Assassins can't spend their life proccing this item, they need to snowball fast, can't buy such a long term investment item.

So maybe we'll se it on some Urgot, Yorick and other mana starved champions such as Ez, Sivir or panth but I don't think it would be such a core item. Its main problem is that it synergizes so strongly with other mana items that only champions that actually buy these items can afford to buy it and to make it viable. For others champions, it's often wasted.
