You must be the unluckiest person in the world...
In my ~300 flights from MAN, I'd say 90% were < 10 minutes. The rest between 10 and 20 minutes.
The only time I can recall it being longer was about 10 years ago on a MAN-DXB flight just before Christmas. The queue in T1 was huge, and took around an hour.
