  We study elastic manifolds in a N-dimensional random potential using
functional RG. We extend to N>1 our previous construction of a field theory
renormalizable to two loops. For isotropic disorder with O(N) symmetry we
obtain the fixed point and roughness exponent to next order in epsilon=4-d,
where d is the internal dimension of the manifold. Extrapolation to the
directed polymer limit d=1 allows some handle on the strong coupling phase of
the equivalent N-dimensional KPZ growth equation, and eventually suggests an
upper critical dimension of about 2.5.
