He has also racked up  122 caps for Uruguay and is Oscar Tabarez’s current captain. The failure to lure Godin increases the possibility of United seeing  out the transfer window with no further additions to their squad despite   Jose Mourinho’s revelation earlier this summer that he is two players short of reaching the five-man target  he set his club’s board in the spring.And the Portuguese admitted on Thursday morning that he is expecting no further business over the remaining hours of the market. “I am not confident, and the market closes today,” he said of seeing  any more players arrive. “So it’s time, at least for me, to stop  thinking about the market because the market will be closed. I will have  to focus on the players I have.” United have signed three players this summer, with Diogo Dalot, Fred  and Lee Grant being added to the squad. However, Grant’s arrival on July  3 remains the club’s last piece of business to date.</blockquote>
