Miracle Man José Mourinho is doing miraculous work at Manchester United at the moment, somehow keeping them in a heroic sixth place despite not being allowed to spend any money last summer and despite referees being out to get him and despite him hearing a strange clicking sound every time he uses his phone and despite a strange luminous night appearing outside his bedroom window every night.
Against all the odds, he muddles on. Not to fear, though, because at long last the purse strings at Old Trafford are about to be loosened and Mourinho’s going to be rewarded for his patience with £85m in shopping money, all of which will go on Atlético Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann. The era of austerity is over! Now you’ll see the real Manchester United! Just watch José go now!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, is in love with Naples. So says his Mr 12%, Mino Raiola, who reckons that the Big Swede’s Neapolitan fancy could see him reject United’s offer of a contract extension and join Napoli for one last assault on Serie A. “With Zlatan you never know what could happen,” Raiola said.
Well, unless it’s a big game in the Champions League.
Peter Crouch scored his 100th Premier League goal last night, but still we await interest from China in the Stoke City striker. Instead Tianjin Quanjin, rebuffed in their attempt to sign Diego Costa, want to splurge £32m on West Bromwich Albion’s Salomón Rondón. West Brom say he’s not for sale, but the Chinese transfer window shuts at the end of this month, their Jim White needs something to sink his teeth into and a bigger offer could be on the way.
Chelsea are already making plans for the summer. Antonio Conte’s going to be handed a cool £100m, which will go on Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk, Celtic’s Moussa Dembélé and Real Madrid’s Álvaro Morata. Meanwhile Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon will sign a new contract.

Spare a thought today for the agents. For some of them this is a day of excruciating pressure that they must shrug off to prove their worth. It’s like their A-Levels, their driving test, their Olympic final and their first court appearance on serious fraud charges all rolled into one. It’s the last opportunity for months for the less fortunate of them to wangle a transfer and a pay rise for a client who has been performing like an absolute galoot. If they fail, they could be sacked. It’s a cut-throat business and today is their last chance to procure a neck brace. Pray for them.
Of course, there are plenty of agents who don’t need your pity because pretty much all they have to do today is keep answering their phones with two words: “How much?” It looks like being a pleasant day for whoever fields Scott Hogan’s calls, for instance. Word is the Brentford striker’s valet can expect to hear from West Ham, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and West Brom, at least.

West Brom are also plotting a move for Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez now that the Saints are close to wrapping up a deal for a new predator, Manolo Gabbiadini.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s ears have pricked up to news that Yannick Carrasco is unhappy at Atlético Madrid and could be open to a move away from manager Diego Simeone, in particular. He’s no Antoine Griezmann but Carrasco is a nifty forward all the same and United like the cut of his jib. So do Chelsea.
With Celtic basically certain of winning the Scottish title David Moyes hopes to be able to persuade the side’s fine young full-back Kieran Tierney to move to another club whose destiny looks sealed already. But Ronald Koeman has told Moyes that Phil Jagielka will not be going to Sunderland even if Everton manage to cajole Burnley into selling Michael Keane, because Koeman wants to have his centre-back cake and eat it, so to speak.
Hull are about to draft in the Internazionale centre-back Andrea Ranocchia to assist with their great escape act.
Speaking of great escapes, the Mill doesn’t know whether Ross McCormack managed to extricate himself from his own country estate this morning. Wherever he is, there are no reports of Fulham or anyone else rushing to his aid. For all the Mill knows he could be marooned forever in Steve Bruce’s bad books. But we’d very much like to eavesdrop on his attempt to talk his way out, given how entertaining his last explanation was.
Ashley Westwood, by contrast, could be on his way out of Villa, as Burnley like the look of him.
Finally, Liverpool’s folk-hero-turned-forgotten-man, Mamadou Sakho, could be brought back on to the straight and narrow by Big Sam, of all people. That’s one of many deals Crystal Palace hope to do today.

Is Pogba more interested in his hairdo?
As well as his hair and celebrations, Pogba has also made even more headlines for the wrong reasons recently.
It seems Pogba's influence has worn off on Wayne Rooney as his drastic change in hair colour from Sunday's FA Cup clash - a 4-0 win over Wigan - has forced many to suggest Roo dyes his hair.

In Wednesday's pictures, the longer, fuller section of hair at the front is significantly darker than the rest of his do.
