You can use the Named Routed to avoid the conficts.

In your route give name to every route.

Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin'), function(){
Route::get('/user', array('as' => 'admin.user', 'uses' => 'UserController@index');
});

Route::group(array('prefix' => 'manager'), function(){
Route::get('/user', array('as' => 'manager.user', 'uses' => 'UserController@index');
});

Now in your route you can routed by it's name,

return redirect()->route('admin.user');

or

return redirect()->route('manager.user');

It might help you.
