United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

Both Atletico Torque and Wanderers will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Primera División. Atletico Torque are operating at a remarkable level, their LWWDW run and a season win rate of 100% placing them among the Primera División's very best. The visitors have been hard to predict on their travels, DDLDW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 33.33%. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. A young right-back is another position City are interested in adding in, while, in terms of outgoings, goalkeeper James Trafford is close to joining Leeds so will need to be replaced.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

The fixture boasts genuine star quality. With J. Urretaviscaya topping the Primera División scoring charts at 1 goals, the stage is set for the kind of individual brilliance that can swing a contest. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. But this only highlights the gulf between Van Hecke and every other defender in the Premier League even more.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 3-3. Whatever the outcome, the Primera División fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. The 22-year-old was likely quite high up on the list of United's midfield targets and potentially even higher after Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blows.
