Atletico's Diego Godín shows off his talent against Cagliari
Manchester United made an approach to sign Godin earlier this morning after failing in pursuits of Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld, Yerry Mina and Jerome Boateng.
However, the Uruguay international has opted to stay at Atletico, signing a new contract with the La Liga giants.
And The Sun say Manchester United manager Mourinho is livid at Godin’s agent, who he believes led the club on.
The Red Devils have spent the day frantically chasing a defender - but it appears they will end up with no-one coming through the door.
Godin’s agent supposedly approached United this week about a deal for his client.
The Atletico powerhouse has a sensationally low release clause of just £18million.
United were reportedly prepared to give the 32-year-old a contract worth £7m a year.
However, The Sun say Mourinho now feels Godin used the Red Devils to broker a new Atletico contract instead.

It means United will have to contend with what they currently have.
Marcos Rojo may yet leave for Everton but Mourinho has Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones as options.
Mourinho admitted that United were unlikely to make any more signings in his press conference today.
The 55-year-old said: "The market closes today. It is time for me to stop thinking about the market.
