It's possible Trump or someone close to him did. Manafort is his tenant and neighbour, and Trump's campaign was well into meltdown organizationally.

That reminds me of when Dick Cheney was in charge of vetting VPs for Bush, and decided that Dick Cheney would be the best candidate.

Trump has longstanding ties to the Russian mafia in New York, so maybe one of his business partners suggested the name.

Manafort has worked with Roger Stone from as far back as 1980, when they set up the lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone, & Kelly:

Manafort wasn't that bad(not that good either) at his job asides from having some skeletons in his closet.

Skeletons in the closet? That's a good reason to stay away from someone as a political operative or a business associate.
