man: avoid gendered singular pronouns

Using "their" as pronoun in these places is confusing since it is more
associated with plural rather than singular, and the sentence already
contains a plural. The word "her/his" apparently offends some people,
hence let's avoid the problem altogether and just name the noun again.
