Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is already planning for next season after religuishing his title to neighbours Manchester City on Sunday.
It was plain to see that Man United's squad was not their best ever this season. And with Man City going from strength to strength and will certainly add to their already impressive squad this summer.
Many pundits have stated that Man United must add to their squad if they wish to halt Man City's Premier League domination and one of the areas most believe United have struggled with this season is the lack of creativity in central midfield.
Well it seems Ferguson agrees and has already set his sights on Borussia Dortmund's 23-year-old Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa.
Kagawa has rejected a new deal at Dortmund meaning he will be out of contract next summer but he is expected to complete a move before then.
Kagawa has been in tremendous form for Dortmund this season as they secured a league and cup double, weighing in with 17 goals and 13 assists.
The 5ft 7ins star is another in a long list of new 'little men' who are lighting up football in this new era. Kagawa is primarily a central midfield player but can also play on the wings which makes him an attractive propersition for Sir Alex.
He would certainly add creativity to United's midfield and bearing in mind they lost the title on goal difference this season I'm sure Ferguson will want to see more goals from his team next year to avoid a repeat.
Kagawa has already admitted meeting with Ferguson, stating:
"It was good to meet and actually talk to him. He had some nice things to say to me. Several clubs contacted me but I can not say which is the best.
"I want to choose the club where I can challenge. It would be good to play in the Premier League."
It seems it will be a busy summer at Old Trafford with many comings and goings as United look to regain their title next year, halt Man City's progress and hold off challenges from Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham who will all be aiming to win the league next year.
