Manchester United are reviving their interest in Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin.

The Mirror says Jose Mourinho wanted Godin last summer but ended up getting nowhere, yet United are still interested for next summer.

However, Atletico are now keen to tie down the 32-year-old to a longer deal as the player's future has long been shrouded in uncertainty.

Godin and his representatives rejected United despite interest in a £20m deal and despite talks with Atletico he never actually signed a fresh contract.

But reports in Spain suggest that Godin is now in advanced negotiations with Atletico with United watching developments closely.
