Manchester United, along with Tottenham, had the best defensive record in the Premier League last season.
However, under the management of Mourinho, the Red Devils have been surprisingly shaky at the back even after signing Eric Bailly for a heavy sum in the summer transfer window.
If reports in the media are anything to go by then the Portuguese boss is still looking to reinforce his back line and an experienced defender is in the limelight.
According to the Sun, Manchester United will move in with a (release clause) 30 million pounds ($37.5million) to hire the services of Diego Godin from Atletico Madrid. Under the management of Simeone, Atletico have had one of the best defenses and Godin has been a key member of his squad.
Back in 2014 (Daily Mail), Louis van Gaal wanted to sign Godin for Man United. It will be intriguing to see if United can finally agree his signing.

You must be kidding, he is too slow for the EPL.
Another panic buy for Mourino. He should be looking ahead and not for a couple of seasons.I would rather he played some youth players like Foai-mensah at right back and Joe Riley, right wing where he can help the defence. He is fast and a good defender. Also get Tuanzebe on the bench and give him ten minutes when we are winning easy.
Fergie done it at the beginning of his tenure.
So Mourino grow some and stop giving us the same old then blame the playrts
Mourinho is a joker.
How on earth could he be going for this old man when there are better alternatives out there within that price range?
If he pulls this deal through, then i would have to agree Mourinho is CLUELESS.
ManU just has to get rid of José. How much have we spent since SAF left with no outstanding results. Cheers.
Sack Mourinho and bring in Diego Someone..
Mourinho sucks!..
Please godin his old mr special one!!!!!!!Again you know already our main problem is defenders, macus rojo, blind, damian their not supose to play in our team look at man city, chelsea defenders very strong guys please mouriho sell does guys and buy strong and experience defenders leave only luke shaw in and try to sign luka modric or tony kroos to partner pogba let ibram leave january la galaxy one sign one striker will are
José Mourinho time had gone but we don’t realise. He is no more capable of handling a team. How could a coach with such reputation still find it difficult to discover his first XI. Buying more classic player I’d no the solution. Those we have already have not adapt with each other. Additional player will only worsen the problem. Get ride of Jose and secure GIGGSY OR PAUL SCHOULES. They are legend who spent most of their football career at United. I have belief in them. Good luck!
JM must be insane, why on earth will he continue wasting man u resources? look at Conte at Chelsea, d same players he left there they are doing wonders now. Pls they beta let him go or we’ll be worst than DM & LVG.
He should be looking for younger players instead of signing older ones.to me it will be a wrong move.
As I understand Jose didn’t understand the club & the players at all! See the time of SAF, he did all those things with home grown players and giving youngesters time to grow! We need Ferguson back!
Mourinho should sign an experience defender..,not old age defender Marcus Rojo, blind,and darmain should be sold….
Jose M is our problem. until we act like Chelsea did, we we still continue like this. perfect replacement for him, D.simeone
Mourinho shd be sacked .woodward also need to be out
