Manchester United seems determined to strengthen its long-term project, and in that line, they have set their sights on Rodrigo Mora, one of the brightest prospects of FC Porto. According to sources close to the English club, the "Red Devils" are seriously considering the possibility of incorporating the 17-year-old young talent, a player who is already beginning to stand out on the European stage.

At just 17 years old, Mora has caught attention for his extraordinary maturity on the field. His ability to read the game, ball control, and surprising capability to perform in different positions have made him one of the greatest gems of Porto's academy. He is not just any player: Mora possesses that special spark that makes one think his future is destined for the great stages of world football.

Despite his youth, Mora has shown overwhelming personality in every match. He exudes the calm of a veteran when the ball is at his feet and an explosiveness that disorients any opposing defense. His vision on the field allows him to make key decisions in high-pressure situations, while his refined technique and speed make him a constant headache for opponents.

What truly sets him apart from other young talents is his competitive instinct. He doesn't hide; he always calls for the ball in crucial moments and takes on responsibilities typically reserved for players with much more experience. Porto fans already see him as a future star of the first team, while the most powerful clubs in Europe, like Manchester United, do not want to miss the chance to secure his talent before it fully blossoms.

Rúben Amorim wanted him for Sporting CP.

At Old Trafford, Mora would fit perfectly into Rúben Amorim's project, a coach who has shown his ability to work with young players and bring out the best in them. His dynamic style of play and tactical intelligence make him a piece that could adapt quickly to the pace of the Premier League, a league known for its intensity and physical demands.

If this signing materializes, Rodrigo Mora could follow the paths of other young stars who have found in Manchester United the ideal place to grow and establish themselves in the elite. At 17 years old, Mora's future is just beginning, but all signs point to success being in his destiny.
