"Manchester United" was actively looking for reinforcements in the defense line. However, the end of the transfer window in England revealed that Jose Mourinho will not have any newcomers in this position. "Man Utd" actively tried to lure "Tottenham" defender Toby Alderweireld and also targeted Harry Maguire, Yerry Mina, and Jerome Boateng. The latter personally told Jose Mourinho over the phone that he will not move to Manchester. It was also revealed that on the last day of the transfer window, "Man Utd" contacted Diego Godin. However, the "Atletico Madrid" defender also stated that he will not join the "Red Devils" and is ready to extend his contract with the current team. In D. Godin's contract, there is a buyout clause of 20 million euros, but it was not activated.
