Depends on what ind of manure you are using. Poultry manure (chicken, turkeys) is much more concentrated than equine (horse, donkey, mule) manure and will definitely burn roots. Cattle manure is about in between and may or may not burn. Aged manure is best in any case. A manure tea is suitable for transplants. To make the tea, put manure (horse -cattle manure preferred) is some sort of a sack (feed sack work well) and dunk it into a bucket (3 or 5 gallon) or water. Let it sit for 30 minutes or longer, occasionally sloshing the sack around. Then remove the sack and dole out the water (should now be a deep 'tea;' color) around the transplants. Lots of ways to do this - just my personal method.
