Find all functions $ f: \mathbb{N^{*}}\to \mathbb{N^{*}}$ satisfying
\[ \left(f^{2}\left(m\right)+f\left(n\right)\right) \mid \left(m^{2}+n\right)^{2}\]
for any two positive integers $ m$ and $ n$.
[i]Remark.[/i] The abbreviation $ \mathbb{N^{*}}$ stands for the set of all positive integers:
$ \mathbb{N^{*}}=\left\{1,2,3,...\right\}$.
By $ f^{2}\left(m\right)$, we mean $ \left(f\left(m\right)\right)^{2}$ (and not $ f\left(f\left(m\right)\right)$).
