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.

There is little to choose between Igalo and Lovćen on paper, and the Second League encounter should reflect that balance. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Lovćen travel in decent nick, WLDLD in their last five and a win rate of 42.86% this season. Larson’s long-term plans have attracted renewed attention following teammate Alex Bowman’s recent announcement that he intends to retire from full-time Cup Series competition at the end of the 2027 season.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Igalo favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Lovćen are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Their press is quick and co-ordinated in some areas of the pitch and not others.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. They are still debating the merits of signing a third midfielder, a deal for Lewis Hall is going to be extremely difficult to pull off and Marcus Rashford's situation means signing an attacker isn't currently off the agenda.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 2-2 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With positions in the Second League table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
