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 Znojmo and Sparta Brno will be eager to build momentum when they meet in 4. liga - Divizie D. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, L in their last five reflecting a win rate of 57.14%. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, WL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 42.86%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Znojmo favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Sparta Brno are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. They were slightly found out against Amorim's Milan in pre-season, with the press not quite sharp enough - the fourth goal, in particular, came from just one ball over a high-lined defence.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
