Both camps will view the UEFA Nations League meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. Germany will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. The visitors will back themselves to cause problems and will not make the trip expecting an easy afternoon. 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.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Germany will look to impose their style on home soil, while Greece are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Speaking on his YouTube Ferdinand said: "If I’m Manchester United right now I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.

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 1-1. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the UEFA Nations League standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top.
