Does it matter if i train and pass Cat C in an auto?

A lorry driving mate of mine told me I’d be unlucky to get a manual these days. And surely whilst manuals exist in the wild their numbers are ever decreasing.

I’ll be glad of the easier time learning in an auto. If I get a manual down the line I’ll figure it out or break the thing trying.
