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 Talant and Ozgon will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Premier League. Consistency has eluded Talant in recent weeks, with DWWWL in their last five and a win rate of 29.17% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. When a team wins 63.64% of their matches and posts WWLWL in their last five, as Ozgon have, even the longest trips hold no fear. 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. The position of goalkeeper is vital in Fantasy Premier League.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Talant will look to impose their style on home soil, while Ozgon are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. United are reportedly eyeing a move for Brentford striker Igor Thiago this summer.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 2-2 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Premier League standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. In terms of outgoings, Perri seems closest to an exit, but that will likely have to wait until Trafford's mandated holiday after the World Cup is over or a No 2 arrives.
