Well, マネージャー is manager. If here was "dispenser" instead "manager" it would be
understandable. So what "manager" doing here?

Translation of マネージャー
One of the meanings of `差し入れ` is "food/provisions provided for someone (who is
busy with some task)". So, the sentence could be translated as:

> Well, let's drink this together. The manager brought it earlier for us
> [while we were working].

Another sign that `マネージャー` is a person here is the verb `もらう`, which can be
applied only to people (though I guess personification is possible).

If you're not familiar with usage of `もらう`, here's a pretty detailed post on
the four verbs to express giving and receiving:

In your sentence, the speaker received something from the manager and is
expressing gratitude for it.
