Jorge Salinas is of interest to Manchester United(Image: 2024 Soccrates Images B.V.) 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 Hvězda Cheb and Slovan Velvary will be eager to build momentum when they meet in 4. liga - Divizie B. Hvězda Cheb have blown hot and cold, LL across their last five and a win rate of 28.57% that leaves room for improvement. Slovan Velvary travel in decent nick, LW in their last five and a win rate of 57.14% this season. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. If the recent winter window is anything to go off, meanwhile, United are once again unlikely to spend big for reinforcement half-way through the season.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Hvězda Cheb will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Slovan Velvary must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Their 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup featured breakout performances by 17-year-old striker Brian Madjo striker on debut and 19-year-old winger George Hemmings.

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 2-2. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the 4. liga - Divizie B standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
