I don't see anything broken...the part that bolts to the head IS the manifold.

This is the manifold:

The best way would be to remove the busted portion and install a new exhaust bolt.

The cheapest might be something similar to a c-clamp.

Pop the manifold off. It looks like there is a bit still sticking out, you might be able to get a nut or some vice grips on it.

Then get yourself a new gasket and some new hardware.
