There are still a couple of months to go before the end of the season and the opening of the summer transfer window.
However, that has not stopped managers looking ahead and getting prepared for the time they can start buying and selling players again.
Jose Mourinho is one of those managers, with the Manchester United boss already figuring out how to improve his squad so the Red Devils can seriously challenge for the Premier League title next summer.
He is ready to sanction a deal for Mauro Icardi, the Inter Milan forward, who is valued at around £80m, while defenders and midfielders have also been linked with moves to Old Trafford as Mourinho plans a squad-wide improvement.
