Manchester United organised a private jet as they tried to thrash out a deadline day move for Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin, but were forced to cancel it when a deal couldn't be agreed.
Jose Mourinho was desperate to sign a centre back over the summer and turned his attentions to Godin after failing to snag Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld or Jerome Boateng.
On deadline day, it emerged that United had made enquiries about Godin earlier in the week, but it was confirmed within hours that no new faces would be arriving at Old Trafford.
