The FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile has already started, and one of the players who is highly regarded in the tournament is Gilberto Mora. The 16-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder is one of the youngest players in the tournament, but is seen as one of the best players of the tournament.
Mora already has experience with the senior Mexican National Team and has won the 2025 Gold Cup with Mexico as a starter. Mora is expected to be part of the Mexican National Team roster for the 2026 World Cup due to his performances with Club Tijuana in Liga MX.
With all the recognition he has received, Mora is now in the eyes of top European clubs, including Manchester United. According to Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, Manchester United have sent scouts to the U-20 World Cup in Chile to keep an eye on Mora.
