In SharePoint 2013 workflow type we do not have Lookup Manager for User activity. For that SharePoint 2013 workflow you will need to use the Call HTTP Web Service activity, with the following end point URL:

http://your-sharepoint-site/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v=[%Workflow Context:Initiator%]

You can get more information at Details

You can use SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013. Then use lookup Userprofiles activity to get manager name.

If you are using 2010 workflow then you can select Data source as User profiles and select the field as Manager
