One sprout will always dominate the other due to geometry in the seed. After the small seedling has at least 2 sets of true leaves, you can dump them out of the container and safely separate them. All other things being equal, they will have the same stature a year later.
Mangos do not come entirely true from seed and some of them have a notorious amount of drift. The Manilla variety is not a premium quality fruit so there is no real worry. You might end up with something better! Otherwise, depending on the climate the tree will be planted in, Manilla is not a bad choice for a rootstock.
