With a 3-0 win over the Czech Republic on Wednesday, El Tri completed a perfect group stage with nine points won and zero conceded from nine games.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Mexico&#8217;s third tournament win has nothing to do with the team&#8217;s success. Probably the most important player in the team, who is likely to be very important in the future, made his first World Cup start against the Czech Republic. Gilberto Mora, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder who plays for Tijuana, played 72 minutes and created two scoring chances.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-player\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Mexican phenom Gilberto Mora returns to the field, thrilling fans<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Although it wasn&#8217;t an outstanding performance, Mora&#8217;s immense talent was on full display. Europe&#8217;s top clubs were already paying attention to him, but one giant in particular is paying even more attention to him after his appearance in the World Cup.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Manchester United begin aggressive pursuit of Gilberto Mora<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">According to Graham Bailey&#8217;s report, which arrived the day after Mexico vs. the Czech Republic, Manchester United were &#8220;probably the most active of any Premier League club&#8221; in signing Mora. They appear to be competing with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Apparently, Premier League teams are not the only ones interested in signing the Mexican. Spanish giants Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid also have a strong interest in him. A bidding war is sure to ensue sooner or later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/liga-mx\/2026\/06\/27\/gilberto-mora-s-first-world-cup-start-earns-him-serious-interest-from-one-of-the-best-european-clubs-in-the-world.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even the most positive Mexican fan could not have imagined that the national team would get off to such a picture-perfect start at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
