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.

Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Tuna Luso sit 4th, Tocantinópolis lie 5th, but the Serie D has a habit of defying such logic. Consistency has eluded Tuna Luso in recent weeks, with LWDWL in their last five and a win rate of 30% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been hard to predict on their travels, WLLWW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 30%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. That result ended the European giants' 14-game unbeaten run in the competition, as Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham were contained by an "incredible" performance from a player barely anyone outside of France had heard of.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Tuna Luso and Tocantinópolis have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

All eyes will be on the league's leading marksman Michel Douglas, whose 7 goals this season make him the standout threat and a player capable of deciding the outcome on his own. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Ramos did eventually score the breakthrough goal midway through the second half but that was one of eight attempts at goal by the Portuguese forward - and there were no fewer than four big chances missed.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Backed by home advantage and superior form, Tuna Luso ought to prevail — a 3-2 victory looks the logical call. With positions in the Serie D table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. England captain Harry Kane is likely to sign a new deal to extend his stay at Bayern Munich despite interest from Barcelona.
