If it's viable and could be a success they will do it.
American tend not to go for fragmented frequencies but for a daily operation from the outset of a new route. The routes you suggest, given that there is already a carrier on them and a heavy leisure focus, would be unlikely to sustain a daily service just yet. AA have three flights a day from MAN offering excellent onwards connections within North and Central America. Perhaps better that TCX and VS build up frequency out of MAN, as they are doing, fed by the interline and code-shares at MAN. Too much, too quick, is a risk on MAN-USA at the moment.
