I would not build manamune on Wukong. If someone finds they absolutely need it, they are definitely using their skills too often, probably to farm.

You pretty much solely build manamune if you plan to build other mana-heavy items on the champ. By which I mean Iceborn Guantlet or Frozen Heart, near exclusively. This is mostly the case for an AD dmg dealer who has a mana consuming toggle, or very low cooldown skills, who can utilize the mana build-up and get extra damage on your autos.

In addition to the "legit manamune users" listed above (which I feel Udyr is left out on, as he is mana hungry AD champion and skill-spam prone) there are some champions which would gain some benefit from this item, and build them with fair regularity. A xin Zhao could pair it with a frozen heart or iceborn gauntlet. Sion could pick it up with a tanky build with frozen heart and iceborn gauntlet both to boost his sustained damage. Ashe can build a manamune after a core damage item if she's ahead for her permaslow.

Truth is, aside from Urgot/Yorick/Jayce/Udyr you don't see manamune built because their damage is more greatly increased by other items, and AD champs would rather pick up some mana potions than waste such a large amount of gold building something apart from their for them mid-late game.

that being said, it's a game, and odd builds are part of the fun.
