Jesús Manuel Corona Ruíz (American Spanish: [xesuzmaˈnwel koˈɾona ˈrwis]; born 6 January 1993) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a winger for Portuguese club Porto and the Mexico national team.
Corona began his football career with Monterrey, where he was spotted by experienced club scout Alejandro Niemeijer, according to people familiar with the club. He made his senior team debut at 17 years old under coach Víctor Manuel Vucetich on 7 August 2010 as a starter in an away league match against Atlante in a 2–1 victory for Monterrey.
Corona scored his first goal for Monterrey on 7 October 2011 in an away match against Estudiantes, with the game ending in a 3–2 victory for Monterrey. Corona also scored his first goal for Monterrey in their presentation at the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup against Ulsan Hyundai on 9 December, with an assist from Aldo de Nigris in the 3–1 victory. In the match for third place against Al Ahly on 16 December, Corona scored in the third minute of the match, which ended in a 2–0 victory for Monterrey. Though he began his career at Monterrey as a forward, he was eventually deployed mostly as a winger by Vucetich.
On 22 August 2013, it was announced that Corona was transferred to Dutch side F.C. Twente, for whom he signed a four-year contract. He started the 2014 season with F.C. Twente's reserve team, which plays in the Second Division, scoring 2 goals on 18 August. On 13 September 2014, Corona returned from injury and a stint with the reserve team to start his first game with Twente in the 2014-15 season and went on to record an assist and a goal against Go Ahead Eagles in a 2-1 victory for Twente, the club's first victory of the 2014-15 Season.
