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 camps will view the Prva Liga meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. Teleoptik are mired in a difficult campaign, L over their last five and a paltry win rate of 11.11% painting a bleak picture. Away from home the visitors have thrived, L over their last five and a win rate of 77.78% marking them as genuine road warriors. The contrast in attacking output — 1.11 versus 1.78 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. Carrick has experimented with Noussair Mazraoui in that position but he seems to have fallen down the pecking order, as the less experienced Patrick Dorgu was preferred for the Manchester derby loss.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Teleoptik favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Borac Cacak are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. No wonder the skipper had talked of a 'new Aston Villa' in the pre-match press conference with what seemed like genuine excitement.

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. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Youri Tielemans praised the "humble" and "hard-working" Rashford and said he hoped to see the forward match his impact for Aston Villa at Man United now he has returned to the fold at his boyhood club.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. Whatever the outcome, the Prva Liga fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
