Well first off it says maybe, so that doesn't make accurate proof that Balrogs are indeed manlike. Also even if was man shape, the Balrog in the movie is gargoyle-like, which is pretty much a man/beast creature. It also says man-shaped, not man-headed, so a bull-like head should not be considered wrong. I do believe though, Balrogs do not have wings and do not like that they added them.
