Regularly, a young player attracts numerous interests on the transfer market, amongst major European clubs. A 16-year-old forward, Gilberto Mora, seems to be the new sensation of the moment, tracked by Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona.
The Red Devils are experiencing a poor start to the season – 14th in the Premier League, elimination in the cup by a fourth-tier side – and the English club could be tempted to relaunch via the transfer market. Whilst a rumour mentions Xavi's interest in taking over from Ruben Amorim, Manchester United are also thinking about the not necessarily immediate future, with a pronounced interest in a young player.
Manchester United in battle with Real Madrid, Barcelona and English clubs
According to revelations from Mundo Deportivo, the English club have entered the race to sign Gilberto Mora. And for the Mexican central attacking midfielder, Manchester United are in good company. Indeed, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal are already in the running.
Already called up 3 times for the national team, Gilberto Mora is having an interesting start to the season with Club Tijuana – 11 appearances, 5 goals, 1 assist. Whilst his potential is high, his market value remains, for its part, rather low, according to Transfermarkt, who value the number 19 at £3.8m.
A move to make for Manchester United?
Gilberto Mora will in any case be spoilt for choice for his future club. It will be a matter for the player of not making a mistake, by choosing the best club to have playing time and progress. In this respect, Manchester United appear as a credible option to play a lot, since the English club lack sporting certainty, unlike other major clubs – Barcelona, Real Madrid – where places are more difficult to secure.
A transfer of the player in question could occur during the winter transfer window, or in summer 2026.
