6 players Manchester United failed to sign this summer

#4 Diego Godin

Godin has been there

A last minute rush could not sway the Uruguayan to move to Old Trafford. After a failed move for both Alderweireld and Maguire, their attention turned to Diego Godin in a move that already had the signs of a collapse.

They contacted Athletico Madrid, and were told the defender is not up for sale. They were keen to bolster their ranks with the effective Uruguayan, but he is due to sign a new contract or might have already signed it anyway.

United were believed to have activated his release clause only to be let down by the player himself who was not ready for a move.
