Manchester United are expected to spend heavily once again this summer.
Jose Mourinho's side finished 19 points behind rivals Manchester City and are unlikely to challenge next season without bringing in some reinforcements.
Set to join for £17.5m, Porto's 19-year-old full-back Diogo Dalot appears likely to become Man United's first signing of the summer.
Meanwhile, Man United are reportedly interested in West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic.
The 29-year-old Austrian - who briefly played under Mourinho at Inter Milan - scored 11 goals in 35 appearances since swapping Stoke City for West Ham last summer.
Mourinho was spotted at Austria's 1-0 friendly win over Russia on Wednesday and various reports claimed the 55-year-old was there to watch Arnautovic.
"It is a great honour for our entire team that a coach like Mourinho is watching us," Arnautovic told Austrian newspaper Kurier.
WHO MOURINHO WAS ACTUALLY SCOUTING
The Sun claim that the true purpose of Mourinho's scouting trip was to cast his eye on a 22-year-old Russian midfielder.
The Man United manager is interested in signing Arnautovic - but he was actually there to watch CSKA Moscow's Aleksandr Golovin.
Golovin - who is reportedly available for just £15m - played 76 minutes in the heart of Russia's midfield during the 1-0 friendly defeat on Wednesday.
The Sun claim Mourinho is eyeing him up as Juan Mata's replacement.
Mourinho was reportedly impressed by his performances for CSKA in Man United’s Champions League group last year.
"We need to find a replacement for Michael Carrick, if Marouane Fellaini leaves, we need to find a replacement for Marouane Fellaini."
Fellaini, 30, has four weeks remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford and has rejected Man United's latest contract offers.
The Belgian midfielder is currently negotiating with AC Milan but could yet agree a move to China.
